No Mate,

The price does not specifically bother me. I remember last year and two years ago when White Lions we were advertising for the same client were a lot cheaper.

If you have near on a £100,000 then they would be an ideal purchase. 2007 they were £75,000 pair and in 2006 they were £60,000 pair.

It was to say, 'Hey look, someone else that is more expensive, lol'
