Cam if you have a Wilkies near you they used to be reasonable from there.

I think last time I looked Wilkinsons was pretty cheap for 8' canes.....ha ha beat me to it! ;D

if you have a Home Bargain shop by you they have good canes, i think you get 10 for £1.29 and they were pretty strong

Find a wood, (ask permission) and cut yourself some this is what I got a few weeks back, i made 4 wigwams in all, could have cut a lot more, these are about 7 to 8 feet tall

I missed those Gavin. I was in there last Thursday while OH went for his pre op checkup ;D. I shall be there again when he has his op but I don't think he would want me visiting him with 8' canes & I doubt the bus driver would be very impressed either ;D ::).

Just give the bus driver the same dirty look he gives you and it will be okay.  Had to fight my way onto a bus with a 7 ft christmas tree under one arem and a duck under the other.  He was not impressed but I did get home.  Was wearing heels at time and couldn't walk properly.

Thank you ;D.

Your very welcome.  Ian

I don't think I should Lotty. My looks are withering. As a teenager I had more control over my nieces with my looks than my sister did with anything she tried ;D. It would be a looooooooong walk home ;D.
