They don't baulk at a SCART or HDMI lead that costs more
than the equipment connected.

Not if you know where to buy them. Unfortunately, not any local
brick-and-mortar store that I know of.


Well, they tend to be concrete (or whatever old Woolworth's stores were
built of), but poundshops (or 99p shops) sell SCART leads. Sure, not the
highest quality! But they do for a lot of purposes. Tend not to use any
screened cables, though the ones I've seen have at least been fully
wired (i. e. all 20/21 pins).

I _think_ I've seen HDMI ones in a similar outlet. Probably of similar
quality (i. e. certainly not high in technical terms, but not as bad as
you'd think, certainly mechanically).

Anybody can garble quotations like that -- even with the Bible... Er... "And he
went and hanged himself (Matthew 27:5). Go, and do thou likewise (Luke 10:37)."
