Not surprising really. I was in the Portsmouth branch collecting my serviced skis on Sunday. Massive store full of outrageously priced trousers (£110) and anoraks. Who can afford these items at full price? Pretty empty as always. Tried on an overpriced ski helmet then bought it from Edge & Wax on return home (with two lots of extra discount). Noted the £500 BCA back pack when I had bought one for almost half price from a French online retailer a couple of days before.
Admit that S&R do good sales and do price match but they must be pricing themselves out of business. Noted that Cotswolds owner are interested. Great shop with good quality gear at reasonable prices.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I picked up the S&R catalogue earlier this year & read about a (vastly priced) jacket with a special mobile phone pocket that (apparently) extends battery life. How does that work then? Other than perhaps "keeping it warm".
They've always been expensive but they've been going for years. Not from my custom though.
I walked recently from near the City to Waterloo and passed one, two, three Cycle Surgeries on the way. All over the place it seems.

Whenever I go in to Ellis Brigham or Snow and Rock my jaw drops at the RRPs, that said I did get my current jacket heavily discounted from Ellis Brigham. No idea how either of them sell too much at RRP.
That said Ellis Brigham used to be a customer of mine in a previous job. Bob was a really nice bloke to deal with, even if I only ever dealt with him over the phone.

Interesting, wonder if that will see ski stuff turn up in the Cotswold Outdoors shops?
More ski stuff I should say, they always have some stuff in larger branches

interesting development. I've heard it suggested that Cotswold don't do discounting - anyone want to back that up?
