Damn, by the time I looked they'd sold out of trolley jacks, and by the time I'd got through checkout they'd sold out of axle stands...
Oh well, thanks for the heads up anyway...

David Taylor gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
The tow ropes have gone now, too.
Couple of quid for a bottle jack's worth having, though - and I've been trying to find a cheap jump-box for quite a while, since my old faithful (£20 at Ally Pally classic car show) one died.
A few other odds'n'sods at "Are they sure?" prices, and some other bits I was planning on getting anyway.
I really need some more axle stands, though...

Keep an eye on Lidl. They had some excellent ones where the legs fold in for storage for not a lot. And most of these things come round again.

It's not often people suggest moving somewhere more pikey.

Give them time if they're relatively new there.

Let's put it this way - two of the nearest are Luton and Slough.

One in Crowthorne; slightly more "des-res".
Apart from the special offers, I find most of the stuff in Lidl and Aldi is not much better quality than a pound shop.

The tools in Lidl are generally very good. Way better than Draper type stuff. I've never visited a pound shop.

They've opened up a 99p store round my way which is hitting the local poundland profits. It's an experience browsing through even to just feel the quality of the various tools on offer :-)

The tools in the Crowthorne branch that I have looked at that are *not* on a special offer are nowhere near to the same quality as Draper Expert range.
Snob! I have; I've just never purchased anything from one.

2CV would be ideal to drag behind the Winnie perhaps?
