OT - on the scrounge

As a hobby I run a miniature railway near Chippenham (see

formatting link
I am currently running a new water pipe (1"/25mm blue polypipe) to the platforms. I have bought a length from Wickes, but I am 3m short (and I don't want to buy another 20 - 25m coil for the sake of 3m).



So, does anybody have 3m of blue polypipe lying around that I could scrounge please.



Cheers

Yes....... but I'm near Manchester. You're welcome to it if you're passing.

Martin

There's some you can have here too - but probably even less likely than you getting some from Martin.

Some here too. And you're welcome to it. But you'd need to be in S.Devon to make it worthwhile.

I _had_ exactly what you needed, but I've just looked in the garage and I remembered what I did with it:

Freecycle!

This is apparently your local Freecycle group. You need to sign up to the mailing list (our local one uses Yahoo) and post a wanted ad.

Once they know it's for a good cause I expect you'll look like the Michelin man in a short while!

One slight caution: spamtrap your postings there thoroughly. The DC offered to learn how to post stuff on offer there last time we had a clear out, to save me doing it, and within about 48 hours was receiving a lot of junk mail.

HTH,
