Maplin: Think we are in England.

Maplin are selling a Sat kit with 43cm dish. Fine in England, but too small in most of Ireland when it rains. They charge €39 extra to add a 65cm dish (correct size for most of Ireland for Freesat).

This isn't the notorious Camping wok (I'd forgotten that Maplin had been selling that same one that was in Lidl recently). It pretends to be a real Satellite kit.

OT - Add to that BT phone socket kit (not even RG11 converters) and even "freeview" DTT receivers on the shelf in Limerick :eek:

Sure wasn't it their foreign policy a couple of hundred years ago to "Make The World England" Seems not much has changed!
