Seems like a bit of a postcode lottery here with the prices.

Bought 2 on Sunday in Plymouth, 5.99 each.  They are good value - spent 9.99 for two on the net a couple of years ago that lasted but a few months.  Hoping these will do better, they are a good size too - might have to go back, although there was only one left after me.... thanks for the tip!

Have only felt it through the packing but it feels quite strong. The hoops were what I was impressed with. So Strong. BTW the cloches are now 5.99 in Sutton Coldfield. Nice bargain I got eh!
When I get old I don't want people thinking
