Allotments 4 All

Having just broken min ein half, wher on earth do you buy replacement wooden shafts/handles for forks?

Why do modern ones break so easily, yet old tools often have very old handles?

I've seen them around.

I think it must be a case of  " They don't make them like they used to".

And sorry to say but Ronnie Barker is no longer around to buy any Four candles from.
            ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I got one here:

Old fashioned ironmongers and (roughie toughie) builders' supplies merchants still do them :)

My little local nursery does them also and if they don't have any, they order in.

I got one from my local 'Countrywide' store ( used to be West Midlands Farmers) They sell loads of good stuff and fairly cheap too.

Both my local farmer's merchants stock a selection of handles for fork and other hand tools.
