Thank you Pull Back
I've been silent fuming all day - bet that wasn't what the marketing people expected.
Flashy Garmin GPS in colour for your boat, sir?
Certainly, you'll get plenty of change from £500
One for your aeroplane, ooh aeroplane is it?
That'll be well over £800.
What?
Like something a little cheaper, sir?
Well, our cheapest aviation GPS is just under £260.
Oh boats was it? Well we've got one for £160.
Eh?
Perhaps I'll just have some gloves, then.
Okay, a wide choice for well under twenty quid in the marine section or into aviation for very little change from £30.
Oh, perhaps I'll just have a model, in that case.
Righto chief - boats between £20 and £60, aeroplanes from £100 to £125.
You what?
Perhaps I'll just take a CD-ROM that shows me how to use the radios.
No problem, boats for £30 or aeroplanes for £70.

Now, I'm not blaming the people who produced the catalogue, their prices merely reflect what they can buy for, I'm sure, but it does all seem to support Pull Back's theory.
There's only one place I've spotted that you can save money between the two magazines.
I'd like to buy some paint for my yacht.
Right you are we've got a dozen products in our catalogue, take your pick.
Thank you and some for my aeroplane.
P!ss off, Biggles, we don't like your type round 'ere.
