    I get discounts from my suppliers as I have been loyal to them for a long time (and therefore give them a small but reliable amount of sales).
    I do not pass that savings on to my customers, i charge them the standard rate for my supplies.
    I take that as profit and therefore pay slightly more tax on it.
    I am an intermediary in the supply chain and want to get a slight payment for my time and effort.
    It has taken time, money and energy as a skilled professional to get to the point where i am paid for my work, and for the years graft where i did not.
    I do not go into Sainsbury's and demand that i pay them the same for a tin of beans as they pay their suppliers, and I expect that most DIY heroes don't either, although i would enjoy seeing them try.
    I'm also aware that many tradesmen will use this mechanism to unjustifiably add cash to their mattress; but the practice is not set up to "rip off customers".
    It's how you run a business and earn a living, and pay the wages of those who work for you.

    Another UK-based courier network was run by Semen Kuksov, the son of a Russian oil executive. He and his associates collected more than £12m in drugs cash in just 10 weeks to be exchanged for virtual currency. Last February, he was jailed for almost six years.

    I'm presuming he spunked it all

    Most of the branded ones will do the job - spend your money on good quality router bits, particularly if you're plunge cutting

    I thought this was informative, i could be wrong though, or maybe trying to read my own opinions into it

    Like the 4x4s, but that must be a thing, farm chic

    Cracks me up that even farmers have fashion to follow.
    Flat caps, those shirts with a broad crossed line pattern, either Barbour jackets or those felt efforts, pretty much every single one of them.
    And none of it cheap neither...

    I know there's a practical reasoning behind it, but not so much in the pub, in the landrover dealership, at the pool, on the protest march and so on
