Tried to buy some 6x90 turbogold coach screws yesterday from my local Screwfix trade counter. None in stock. None at the warehouse for next day delivery.
Tried 8x90 - none, 6 x 90 turbogold screws - none, various other sizes - all out of stock.
Apparently the turbogold range and most others is made in China and the factories were all closed down a few weeks before the Olympic Games to help clear the smog.....
