It’s good to be back. I came in here because I wanted to look at the Joblink vacancies but you can only do it from on campus to see the contact details. That or email them but I didn’t want to be waiting around and I was in town to speak to PC World about a job anyway so I thought I might as well wander up.
While I was in PC World I thought I might as well check out the prices of ethernet cables as I was looking for a 5m one to network my old computer up. I have plenty of network cables I could potentially do it with but most are 1-2m or like 10m so I thought if they were cheap I might as well pick up a new one.
£15 for a 5m cable! The cheapest was like £10 for a 1m one and they seemed to go up from there. Let’s put that in perspective. £0.76 for a 2m cable from >Watford Electronics.
Consider this. I could get a 5m cable from Watford (also manufactured by Belkin) and add shipping costs onto the top of that and it would still only cost me £6.14. In fact, for a total cost of £8.63 I could get it tomorrow with premium express delivery!
