Ha ha ha, well just to keep the matter straight, I have already spent 99p on my first pair of pads, and I am going to be bold now, and risk yet another 99p on a second pair, just as a backup.

How is that for being rash ...  ;D

Sorry Alishka, I am a total fool and irresponsible when it comes to what I see as an unbelievable bargain. I will be picking up my second pair, probably tomorrow ...

(big sigh) the + point abt the 99-ers is that they're only 99p or £1 and yeah I was suckered into buying them. Remember! I garden for a living & hand-weed 20 gardens PLUS my own, on a regular basis,  so knee pads seemed a good idea..
The - points are
 1) they're too rigid. Your knees bang down on an unforgiving surface (the knee pads) every time you kneel - believe me, the ground from which you're presumably trying to protect yourself is a darn sight softer
2) They're a one-size-fits-all-fits-no-one rigid shape
3)to keep them in position one must tighten the straps so much that one's circulation is cut and that therefore
4)they actually restrict movement and
5)they make your lower legs go all tingly and blue :o

And THAT is why I'm prepared to sell my 30minute-used £1 kneepads to anyone prepared to offer me a fiver ;D

The goggles, tho, are a good buy 8)

I think I'll put these on Ebay, given their popularity.

Good grief, is this still going on?
I wonder who will get the last word, it reminds me of when I was a child
