I reckon the buyer had better get a rea wash-wipe thrown in with the sale

Post by: TimM on November 16, 2005, 11:17:32: I'm a bit confused now....

Your thread title says a wander round PADDOCKS...

Your pictures show an ANCHOR SUPPLIES sign...

Are they the same thing? :oops:

Post by: hobbit on November 16, 2005, 14:22:17: True, well spotted there I wondered how long it would take for somebody to see the deliberate mistake, thats what happens when you are working in multiple windows at the same time :oops:

I've seen adverts (and talk) of Anchor before, but when I had a quick look at there website, I seem to remember talk of it being for the trade.

At that point I gave up looking any further, BUT - should I have, is it only open to the trade?

Kev, are you a 'registered member' or did you just turn up?

I was interested in it, could be useful for anchoring down in a vehicle

But not sure at the time, althoug I'm due another run there to sort some kit for my lad as he's away to training in a couple of weeks

not much use to anyone anymore(obselete) unless you're a collector of old military kit, mind you if you find a use for them i'd be interested to know what you would use them for

Post by: hobbit on March 21, 2006, 17:50:07: It always handy having them on your doorstep, sometimes you can pick up some nice bits quite cheaply, and they can be converted or used another way :wink: :lol:

Post by: hobbit on March 21, 2006, 19:39:04: Yes there prices are silly on some stuff even between depots, I can still get the odd bit from them cheap though.
