OK, slightly of topic here but I thought it might be worth a mention.

With all of this ringing around that people are doing here, be aware that when you ring an 0870 phone number you are paying an inflated national rate, not what looks like a low cost business rate.
The following link gives more of an explanation
Phone call charges says about 0870 numbers;

0870 National Rate Numbers
UK callers pay the normal national rate for their call while your business benefits from revenue generated from incoming calls as well as appearing to have a nation-wide set-up.


So it is in the businesses interest to get you to hang on the line for as long as possible, or to get you to keep calling back.
I hate sneaky tricks like this and I want to save you lot your hard earned cash.

Sorry if you think this is off-topic and I promise I won't do it again :roll:

Cheers,

Martin

Thanks for that, I was unaware of any charges being made for 0870 numbers :yikes: , just as well that both stores I rang saw fit not to answer the telephone.
As for being off thread, in view of the above I for one will forgive you :You_Rock_

The guy on evilbay has them starting at £30 with another £7.00 on top for postage.

I could get a coach to brum and still come out in front :shock:

It's for that reason I shall be paying a visit there myself tomorrow :eek:):

Hope this sack is worth the trip, still there's always a plate of Penclawd cockles to be had in Swansea Market, that's worth the trip anyway.

Thanks Justin :wave:

I've found that some of the stores have changed name as well.
The Eastbourne store is called "Sports Soccer". I had to check the address again before I was sure I had the right place :?:
Still no rucksacks though !!!

Yep,i found that the stores were called Sports Soccer,but still no rucksacks,i figured they were a different company or part of the same company,i had a look see anyway.No luck.

By the way, are there any real sports shops now days,because they seem more like fashion/clothes stores to me.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have tried on tha aforementioned Berghaus pack in my local Blacks an it seemed pretty comfortable, but like a lot of these size packs, that hip supports are unpadded.

I think that Saber 30 would be a winner if I can find one for anyhting like that price. Otherwise I might take a look at that Forces 33 pack from one of those links, but if neither of those can be found then I think it will be the Berghaus which at least I can pick up locally.

Off now to search for a Saber 30!

Cheers
Geoff
