This means that you can get nearly $2 for only ?1. This makes it cheap buying anything from the states at the moment. "So Introductory Practical Pyrotechnics by Tom Peregrin" is only about ?25 pounds, which isn't bad. (Aimed at danmantdr.)

If anyone has been watching the news or reading the paper, they will now that the mighty dollar has fallen against the pound. This means that you can get nearly $2 for only ?1. This makes it cheap buying anything from the states at the moment. "So Introductory Practical Pyrotechnics by Tom Peregrin" is only about ?25 pounds, which isn't bad. (Aimed at danmantdr.)

Yes FALL BEFORE THE MIGHTY CANADIAN DOLLAR! And yet we are so reliant on their economy... And yes I hate shipping aswell. Its around $2 US per pound of KNO3 but the shipping for a 5 pound order is around $15 US. The shipping is more than the product that is outrageous!

Stop it, I am turning green!
I just got of the phone with a commercial shooter mate, and he was complaining about how hard it is to get magnalium here and how expensive Al flake is. :-(
