You are officially more hard core than I am. OTOH, I did make a pilgrimage to Britex yesterday for their remnant sale.

They're thorough, them Brits!

Quick, too. I forget which shoe retailer it was, but I wrote to them (old-fashioned like) in 1992 asking for a catalogue... I got it in the mail seven days after I sent the request. Pretty amazing considering average airmail times from Australia, back then (and the fact that we only have five-days-a-week service here!)... (probably as good as, if not better than now, but yeah, I was impressed!)
