following on from David's thread regarding the gasket and P&P charges
"I have found one in the axel gerstl catalogue but postage to the UK is €13.50 for an 0.60 item"

£12 switch from Farnells UK
total cost with P&P and handling £42
Clone from China £5.98 inc post!!!

And they ask why the UK struggles in the International market...
