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).


Ah yes! Wonderful places, those pound shops!


One near here had 'karaoke' mics for 99p. Appeared to be moving coil by
the weight - and had a metal body.
