Canny shopping:
- Bought £20 item in Next.
- Woman talked me into providing email address in return for £10 off voucher.
- I gave fake email address.
- She gave voucher.
- I bought same item online for £10.
- Will return original item on way home for refund.

Canny shopping = fraud by false representation as defined in the 2006 Fraud Act.

Not that anyone is going to send you to prison for £10 but that's not canny it's dishonest; you'll be able to look at your £20 item in the future and think to yourself "ahhhhh, I remember when I nicked that."

Is £121.59 a decent price for a Garmin 220 with HRM? I'm not sure I can bring myself to buying something from Sweatshop.

Sounds like a good price FS, but I share your reservations. I paid about that for my 220 without HRM and it was in the sale.

I'll do some more research and will have Sweatshop as a last resort. A quick question. How long does the battery of the 220 last in GPS mode? I need a GPS that will last for 5-6 hours.

Do you want the functionality in the 220? The 210 + HRM is £84.99 on Sport Pursuit - they have various others but that one seems quite a good price. They also have a 620 for £129 and that's "better" that the 220 for only £8 more than your 220 price.

It's a 610 not 620. I'd go for the 220 but do your research as you may be able to get it cheaper elsewhere as it is not the current Garmin model in that series (230 came out end of last year)
