Legacy strings - cheap guitar/bass strings in the UK

I discovered these string while researching bass strings online. They're sold by Strings Direct in the UK for very reasonable prices, I bought a set of bass strings for Â£9 (I think) and 6 sets of 11-48 electric guitar strings for Â£20. When the bass strings turned up the inside of the packaging had a Rotosound advert/branding - so I would assume they were made by Rotosound, however the guitar strings didn't. I haven't used them for any length of time so ascertain how good they are, but they seem to get good reviews online.

Ooh. Well, my bass is on its original strings so may take a look. Ta.

They're rebranded Rotosounds, I think they're ok but they don't last very long for me. I get better value from a set of Elixirs.

I have very dry fingers, which can be a liability when, say, picking up a large glass jar of Marmite without it slipping through your fingers and ending in a nasty mess of salted yeast extract and broken glass on the kitchen floor. For me Rotosounds last for years. My son uses Elixirs; I usually had to replace my acoustic strings a couple of weeks after the band borrowed it.
