I haven't compared the prices elsewhere, but thought I'd post a link in case anyone is still looking:

I've used them before for Dell parts and they were ok.
Cheap - £13 when I've paid £22 before (Dell price is £39). Just noticed they don't include the power lead bit of the charger ie between charger and plug, so not that much cheaper.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Round here, nearly all the houses were built in the 1910s-1930s, and the garages are too small to park a modern car in. I don't think I've ever parked my car in a garage.
I didn't think anyone ever parked a car in a garage. After all, they are designed to be outside (-:
Every garage I've ever been into contains bikes, broken radios, a dried-up paint tin or two, and various other useful items.......much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Interesting. I've not lost a power cord but did need the bit between the plug and the charger as on my Dell power cord the pin to the earth broke off as it was made of plastic and cracked. I think I paid £22 or £23 for the whole lead from MCS so you're right, about the same. The deal they are promoting though is on batteries. I have no idea whether they're cheaper as haven't had to replace a Dell one yet.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Our garage contains a car. Along with a bike, several paint tins and other useful items. No radio though, just an old cooker that we haven't got round to putting out for disposal. This may be a good move though, we'll probably get it shifted for free by a rag and bone man now they've started up again, whereas it would have cost us £25 for the council to take it.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Um,
Anyone got something alcoholic to hand?
If so, please pour yourself a glass because I'd like to make a toast to the planning dept of my local council, who have today managed to agree that all they had to do months ago was say ''Yes''. We have our PP and listed buildings consent!!!0 -
Because I know how to live it up I went out and bought some fishsticks to have as a celebratory lunch before sharing this news.
When the hell did those things get so vile? I mean they were always weird and fake, but they used to have a creepily addictive sweetness...this is just flavourless rubber. Wish I'd splashed out on something like scallops now.0 -

I will toast this with a cup of tea, as I have to go over to our illustrious 'best place to live' in a minute..... :rotfl:
Great news, anyway. That's one thing sorted.
