Actually, I believe, that is the way the spell Fibre on that side of the pond. Just like center is centre over there.

I spend so much time with American spell check i have forgotten which is our way now,color/colour/ and much more. I remember my teacher saying to me how is it you are top in maths and near the bottom in English,my reply was maths is logical, spelling, grammar ect where just some ones idea of how to do things.

Wow, I guess for this price they do offer a lease contract.

I got it ... just my bad attempt at making an even worse joke.

They are really grasping with the "highly refined white packaging."

I wonder what the mark-up is on this thing. It isn't like it has platinum accents.

With a total price of $3,450 (with local sales tax) I had planned on taking a pass on this.

Now that I see the packaging is both "white" AND "highly refined" I've ordered two, since I want one purely for display purposes.

I will purchase the remaining tripods and smash all but one in an industrial hydraulic press, which will inflate the cost of the remaining and now rare tripods. I will sell mine and be rich beyond my wildest dreams. Wahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.
