So, I'm in Halfords, a nice little bottle of dot 5.1 in the cycling section, labelled up for hydraulic disc brakes, 125ml for £4.99.

I stroll over to the car section, dot 5.1 fluid, 250ml for £4.49.

Doesn't that just p1$$ you off??? I can get double the amount for less, just because its not got a pretty picture of someone on a bike on the front.

They're taking us for fools I tell ya!

Its kind off indicative of a lot of paying over the odds though isn't it, just because its to do with bikes??
