How close are you to Leighton Buzzard and would you consider there? Drop me an email if it might suit.

I pretty much regard my printers (the whole unit, not the cartridge) as an expendable item - buying a new one from Amazon or whoever only costs a couple of quid more than the cost of driving to Cartridgeworld and getting a refill done. And OEM cartridges can often cost more than a whole printer. -- d.

(Not to mention the environmental impact. I know, I know, but still...)

There used to be a small bike repairers in LB, on the junction of Stoke Rd. and Old Rd., AFAICR. Great little place, it was. ISTR it was still there ten years or so ago, but Google maps shows a barber shop there now. |
