It is so sad to see bolts selling at these prices. We used to have a company locally nuts and bolts were their game. You could get anything you wanted for pence not pounds, sadly Robert retired around the same time as I did 2010 and nobody took over the business. He was great he supplied the aerospace industry, to the ship builders on the Clyde and most of the UK. He had 5 staff but with him passing away just after he retired all his knowledge was lost forever.
