Solder Thieves

These are the people who are running this Country. The last time I tried to get electrical solder from an actual shop that I had got it from before, they told me they never had any electrical solder left and didn't know when more would be in stock, only plumbing solder which is not ideal (wrong lead tin ratio). So I ordered some online. Five 1 meter lengths on a piece of cardboard is what you will receive, it said. When it did arrive this morning, there were only three. you can see the marks on the cardboard where the other two were so you can't blame the vendor, the so called authorities must have opened it, removed two and re-sealed it and delivered it (presumably) hoping it will piss me off. I just think it's petty but it's also criminal.

There is also the fact that I've been ripped off by the so called authorities! Three for the price of two is said to be a bargain (although I suspect it's a rouse so you buy more than you need), three for the price of five is most certainly NOT a bargain.
