Was in Tesco tuther day and noticed they were doing a line in Gym equipment.
they had some rubber gym mats which clip together in a jigsay style about 2m
square, £10. I thought at the time they would be useful for working under a
motor or even chopped up as a boot liner.... then I pinched myself and went
back to browsing the nappies :-)

Leave the nappies to SWMBO, just buy the sodding mats  ;-)

Are they proper rubber ones at Woolies Lee? the Netto ones are that foamy
stuff  it does cut up a bit but lasts pretty well with a springer and german
shepherd jumping in and out.I got them last year  for the back of the Disco
cut to size duct tape them together and cushty, like you say comfy for
crawling about under the car but don't weld near them I have one that looks
like a crumpet after a session under the wheel arch.Bet you thought you were
done with nappies after the last one  eh  :-)

If they are as cheap as Aldi and Lidl (no Netton near me) then you can
change them every ten seconds and still work out cheaper than ordinary
supermarket ones!

Having said that, during the day, H lives in real nappies, but has
disposable at night and when we are away.

I saw them as well and nearly bought some except that CostCo have
something very similar with edging pieces and, IIRC, covering a larger
area (6 bits about 1m sq?) for a similar price maybe £15, so I didn't.

A four pack of lock together floor stuff? Don't think we have a Netto with
a hundred miles of here though. Oh no I was wrong there is one in Carlisle
only 20 miles away I'm going to Carlisle tommorow...

Looks through online offers booklet from the 24th, 61cm x 61 cm x 4 bits =
1.5m^2. My memory of the Tesco ones is larger and certainly the Costco
ones but I will be passing Tesco first as that is opposite the Land Rover
dealers in Carlisle, (84,000 mile service and brake freeing booked). And
£4.99 to keep my feet warmer in the unheated workshop/garage is almost a
no brainer.

They are all over the place where abouts are you Dave I've been to the ones
in Barrow, Stranraer and Cramlington ( don't I get about a bit)

Not up here they aren't. One in Carlisle, a handful around Newcastle and
thats about it within reasonable striking distance.

> where abouts are you Dave

In the middle of Englands Last Wilderness. People think Dartmoor is a
large remote area, you can put about 6 Dartmoors in a ring around us
without overlapping anything bigger than a large village and certainly
nothing that has the normal High St shops, like Boots, Woollies, WHSmith
etc

Right... if I have to emigrate to the UK I think you've described where
I'll end up living.

Just, Northumberland and County Durham are just a few miles down the road,
North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. That big blank bit on
road maps to the right of the M6 as you pass the the Lake District on the
left.

It is pretty incredible around there I get up to Alstom delivering and  a
few places  further into the hinterland where they shoot at you with very
large ordnance if they don't like you.

Warcop is 15 odd miles to the south... we can hear the distant whump of
the ordance on some days. They don't do much if any real firing up at
Spadeadam, thats mainly aircraft based electronic countermeasures.

Anywhere near Sedbergh?

We get up there to do harchery (just down the hill from Lambrigg wind farm)
on May day bank holiday weekend, tend to stay at a campsite in Sedbergh,
where we've been known to patronise one or another of the local hostelries
for a few bevvies and dinner.

Define "near" we are about 40 miles to the NNE as the crow files. Up tp
Penrith turn right and go NE for 20+ miles.
