why do the price of snorkels vary so much??
pics of 4 snorkels in a recent landy comic:
on the left the LANDROVER OFFICIAL SNORKEL as made by Mantec but with a LR badge, about a million quid*
on the right a MANTEC snorkel, as made by Mantec but without a LR badge, one euro**
if they had swapped the photos, Hercule Poirot wouldn't have noticed even with a magnifying glass
* and ** obviously not and I can't find said comic but you get the idea

Because they CAN!
Certain part of the market = AVERAGE BLOKES ON AVERAGE MONEY WIV AVERAGE TOYS........ who aren't easily fooledand know what the flock they're on about.....
Anuvver part of the market = Chelsea tractor drivers (who ONCE thought about answering a Ronnie Dale's advert) who'll buy things like stick-on mud and 'snorkelettes' for wading thorugh 13mm deep puddles for the sake of convincing their 'Quentinesque' neighbours that they're really rugged 'off road' types.......
All together now........

I work all night an' I work all day".....
