I phoned around all the local vets for 5 miles to compare prices

Experiences such as the sad event MrsTine went through recently puts it all into perspective I think!

My wallet isnt allowed to open that far!!!

Seriously £49 / £55; thats terrible - we use a well recognised brand of chip and as I said earlier I price for volume at £10. How can I do this??? My chips are the same and cost me about £4-40 each (if I buy enough) - I make £6 for virtually no effort and lets get this: - it isnt a big job.

BTW I'm not really nice; I'm just a businessman who happens to take a few principles into work and I think it pays off. I wont get super rich but I dont think I'll ever be poor again (I have been truly skint in the past).

It would maybe be better if the selection of vets steered away from middle class girlies with ponies and started looking at a broader group. We could perhaps do with more of us who have had to work from the bottom up thus understanding what real world pressures are like.
