Just for interest, a little challange for you all.
What is the cheapest and most expensive r18 porn vhs and dvd that you know of in the UK (shops only not over the internet or mail order).
No need to name the shop but you could give its location.

Before I left Northern Ireland (about 3 years ago) there was an unlicenced one out behind the Castlecourt Shopping Centre in Belfast which was selling R18 and US / Euro hardcore tapes for ?45 each - I used to spend a fucking fortune in there!!

I think we can all guess which chain of shops will claim the title for the dearest prices.

Doubt if many places will be able to beat Soho shop prices (cheap 'cause there's so much competition). ?20 each, but you can get three for ?50, then ?15 each additional one. You can haggle even lower in a few places, particularly on bulk purchases. Six R18 DVDs for ?70 (ie ?11.67 each) is my best deal to date.

All the shops in Soho do part-exchange at ?10 a tape, which amounts to a kind of long-term rental. If you buy a lot of tapes it is worth investing in a cheap second VCR and a scart cable so you can make a copy of the tapes (or your favourite bits) to keep. (And before anyone whinges about copyright, etc, I'm sure I spend more money on tapes since I started doing this than I would have done otherwise.)
The most expensive place I ever saw was a sex shop in Leicester (near the station) which was trying to sell bog-standard R18s at ?45 each!
