That site's dangerous, I could buy so much there. How about 100m of cloche plastic for £22.

I always ask round at work once in March, once in July and again in September.... generally I'm turning them away... I concentrate on getting big ones(cos beetroot eats up jar space like nothing else in my workd as far as I can tell, but I do a lot of interim pickling of gherkins that will end up in picallilli, so the small jars can be handy too... plus it means I can give the bottle donators (there are two or three who always give me plenty) small jars of my various pickled fayre.... I need to keep replacing though cos my picallilli recipe thins glass quite quickly and they become too thin to use in a couple of years.
