Default Halfords half price socket set (£199 down to £99)

Just popped into local halfords, they've got sockets sets half price, think the £199 is a 150 piece set but not sure.

Go get a bargain if you need a set

On and off though... Pretty sure the same deal was on recently, then off again.

I ordered that £199 set online a couple of months ago from the Halford website and got it for £90 as they do (or did do) a 10% reduction online.

I picked one of these up the other day for £99 when the deal was on, fucking bargain, put the car back together with it alone!

NEVER worth £200 the robbing cunts but £99 is well worth it!

Where did you work in the southern estate ? Years ago, I worked in the tall ICL (now Fujistu) building.

Can't remember seeing many 3dr around this area

If you reserve it online you just go into the store and collect it for £90 instead of £99 because you spent 5 mins reserving it online. Gotta be worth it to get a tenner off.

That was a long time ago, 1991-1993

There were four ICL buildings in that estate at that time
