Lost a wheel nut for my Ford Focus so after hearing all the radio adverts etc for Motorhog i called in to their Hull branch.

asked if they had a wheel nut and they had, the price? £5! for a single nut!

to be fair the lads behind the counter were polite and explained that it was company policy to not charge anything less that £5 for any item. i could have 3 nuts for a fiver!

reminded me of the Mr Fidler clip in Carry On Camping!

needless to say i left and went to another local scrappy, All Spares, and got one for a quid. a reasonable price one would say.

theres no mention of this 'pricing policy' website.
