Ok, i heard of some guys in wexford charging extortionate amounts for this but thats about all I'm afraid. Do you have any relations/contacts in the uk/NI that could order a card for you?

Thanks Tony. I have done a search on the internet and ebay. I have found a supplier in the UK. I am not sure whether I can give there e-mail address on this board so if anyone wants it I can e-mail it to you. My e-mail address is

[mod edit] Not a good idea to put a live email address on here as it will be spammed-use the private message feature instead [/ mod edit]

€175 - that's over £120 - and I thought it was rip-off Britain!

Wow! A 500% mark up. Quintuple rip-off Ireland!

argh, paying more than 60 euros for these is insane. bit of plastic that costs 20 quid to acquire, and you're all 4 per address in a country with what, 40,000,000 active households?

My local installer (no names) regularly gets 4 of them for £100 or £120 stg. Wonder what he actually sells them for...

That price is hardly a bargain, a 300% mark up.
