You see peterd that comment of yours is the difference between men of culture and taste like SRD and myself.

I don't mind a mark-up but 20% on an already expensive item is silly.
I'll point out that the posh shop (actually on a rather grubby industrial estate) quoted over 100% more for our blinds & curtains than any of it's local competitors, but then they do have a shop in Fulham to pay for as well.
Whilst we're on about decorating, I've got a few square metres of new external render to paint as well as several metres more of old to clean up. I've been looking at the silicate paints (from the likes of Beek), I realise that they're a lot of faff and twice as expensive, but they do carry long guarantees and are very popular on the continent, does anyone have any experience with them?
