sheffieldcortinacentre 629 Posted December 3, 2023 I know it's amazing what simple everyday items it's hard to find in a shop nowadays. I recently wanted an A4 sized piece of stainless steel to make a heat shield closest place was Southampton FFS the stuff was invented here in Sheffield!

The Sales Rep 3 Posted February 13, 2024 'Retro Ford' has always been hard to find compared to 'Classic Ford' it was the same in the 1990's with 'Fast Ford' and 'Performance Ford' most newsagents had 'Fast Ford' but 'Performance Ford' took some tracking down (normally found at petrol stations). Classic and Fast Ford are owned by the same owners (Kelsey Media) and Retro and Performance Ford are owned by the same owners (Unity Media) so obviously Kelsey have a far better distribution network and ability to command shelf space than Unity do.
