Because Brexit.
Also Germany has better labor laws, proper (free) dentistry, free childcare, free university, a stronger economy and is in the EU.

Whats up here?
26th April 2018

Your issue is a typo
wallColour = Readpixel(0, 0)
vs
<> wallColor

jm2bits

Whats up here?
26th April 2018

Should your ReadPixels be the other way around?
eg
ReadPixel(py,px+1)
Should be
ReadPixel(px+1, py)

Ordered a new laptop
3rd April 2018

So I just checked the same model on Laptops Direct - and its 1800 quid there!
When I bought it on Scan, it was 1299 - and stated RRP was 1550. (Which is the price it has returned to)
Amazon is also about 1600.
So I think I got a semi-decent deal :)
