talk about cashing in on the latest must-have accessory! of course, you do get a start-up kit with money off vouchers that you can spend at the garden centre ::)

Blimey talk about cashing in!  £11.5k a year minimum plus a captive market for the shop.  I know I'm a cynical old git but surely this is just about business. 

Who here would pay £260 or £520 a year??
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!
