I know the cost of hardware and supplies here versus UK has been discussed before.  However, just as an additional bit of info:-  I needed a 50m roll of 60cm wide wire netting (chicken wire, hexagonal pattern) to keep the rabbits off my roses and veggies.  I went in Cifec at the top end of Amposta and was quoted €129 (but discounted to €109).  I thought that over €2/metre was a bit steep so I left it.  I looked on the net for UK prices which came out at about £47.
Tried in Hierez today but they don't stock it.  The lad behind the counter gave me name and directions to a Ferreteria.  Nice chap who apparently has been running the business with his mate for over 40 years.  Anyway, upshot was same product (same manufacturer) for €57 (about 50 quid).  I was so chuffed, I bought another couple of items while I was there.
In case you don't know where I mean, the name is Ferreteria Adell.  Directions:- (on foot, bit more complex by car because of one way system)..... Rambla de Catalunya (from Corona Hotel roundabout) past Lidl on your left.  One and a half blocks further down on the right opposite Carrer d'Alacant.  Very small old fashioned shop, very helpful guy (Gonzalvo and his older buddy Gauxachs).
For what it's worth,
Longdrop

"One and a half blocks further down "..........  sorry, make that half a block.

you could have bought one of these for €1.25

I shudd be spelt NO WABBITS

I've had no luck with the traps.  Tried lettuce and carrot.  Laid a trail up to the traps and a juicy piece inside.  Little gits eat the trail and stop short of entering.  They seem to be declining in numbers a bit and slowing down now (mixi time).  I reckon a shotgun or airgun is the answer.  Anyone got anything for sale ?  (anyone trying to flog a second hand MLRS or similar need not respond).  Just wondering if I'd have just posted that I'd found a source of wire netting at a decent price (without mentioning "wabbits") if anyone would have said "that's useful, thanks" ?  :o
