        Your Irish farmers must be spoiled rotten. The farm shops here in Devon would charge ?5 for a bag of 3 bolts in 8.8 steel. I would do the same bolts for about 0.30each (English money not them there Euro things!)

                  I suppose it's one of those things you really want to be from an early age.
