Thanks for posting the link Philcooper.  I can now plan my purchase as currently I only have room for 8 - 10 tubers in pots in the back yard.  Potato days are a great way of buying a couple of tubers of a variety at a time even if you do feel a bit silly compared to people lugging sacks out of the hall.
is it in the sale?

I buy my seed potatoes at the beginning of March, there always seem to be enough left in the shops/garden centres.  :)
