For the people in Holland

They're selling very large hessian sacks at the moment (for zwarte piet) 99 cents per sack.

Should be ideal for storing next years potatoes in.

Who's selling them, and do you get Black Piet and St Nick thrown in?

Picked up 10 of the sacks this morning for a Euro each. Not as strong as the original thingys but two together will be perfect. I wonder what they're going to think on my Belgium plot when Mad Englishman goes stupid again, like 'Look at him now, carrying full Christmas sacks in August'!
