..and continuting the downward trend...

(?1.56)

However, that is a plug to socket, and they don't stock plug to plug - so 
useful for cutting one end off and hacking SCARTs, 8 pins etc, but not much 
use for Beeb to CUB.

...and on the subject of CUBs...

17p for 5 sockets, for replacing rusty/broken ones on your CUBs...can't do 
wrong at 3.5p each! However, unless you want to order 274 packets of 5 (!), 
you'll need to buy other stuff to avoid their handling charge.
