Another one - Overlockers for finishing off handmade shirts etc....they are 3-400 quid new for a decent one...I know you can pay anything you want for somethings but as a generalisation these two things stood out recently as like "crikey, that's more expensive than I thought it would be...."
How much is a bespoke jacket (£5-800) and a shirt is almost as much effort to create so £3-400 is good value really compared to the amount of work involved. My OH says shame on you - French seams or flat felled seams are what you should be putting on your shirts.

Haircut when all you need is a #2 all over: £10 for 5 minute's work. That's £1200/hr to someone who failed every exam going.
Balsamic vinegar. Must be some sort of monopoly/Mafiosi thing going on.
£10 for 5 minutes is £120 an hour not £1200 and if all you want is a number 2 all over, argos sell clippers from about £15 :-)Balsamic vinegar. Must be some sort of monopoly/Mafiosi thing going on.

That's not all overpriced stuff just you choosing to buy it from the wrong pace I'd say.

Half of it isn't bloody alcohol!
On that basis coke at a pub, made from a concentrate,is more expensive than petrol. In fact, I'd guess its more expensive than rocket fuel.Half of it isn't bloody alcohol!
- I realise that you are paying for the luxury of being served by a disinterested spotty oik in a grubby pub with threadbare seating.

Wish the buggers would stock timber, too!
