Allotments 4 All

Went into Wilkies yesterday and saw some cloches, Not the usual flimsy ones but good strond metal hoops. Dont know how if the pvc will stand up to foxes but at £4-99 for 6 strong hoops. I thought was a good buy for lettuce and such. Of course I had to get one despite Tony's Insisting that I didn't really need it. He reckons I'm a Wilkies addict. pmsl

He's right.  ;D ;D ;D

Oooooooh, she says, rubbing her hands in glee.  Going past there tomorrow ... will have to take extra cash with me.  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Well you men would stick together wouldn't ya

are we talking Wilkinsons here, or is there a store called Wilkies?  :-\

wilkies is Shirlton's pet name for wilkinson's  ;D
we're going to the new one in Wigan next week, just for a nosey  ;D

We, too have bought a couple of these well made cloches but we had to pay £5.99 each. When we saw them first last week they were marked at £4.99. Returned to our Southend store on Sunday and they were not priced. We checked the price with the sales assistant who said they were £5.99. Still good value so we bought 2. Has anyone else found them to be this price? If not then perhaps we will check again on our next visit. Today in Homebase, they had some not so robust cloches much dearer. Sorry can't exactly recall the price but I think it was nearer £10 each.

I thought I'd posted this when OH bought one on the 12th?  :-X

Put it down to my age Saddad. Never thought I would miss a Wilkies bargain. This must be a first for me

I bet you come out with something

I bought 1 in Wilkinson's for £5-99.

I went to wilkinsons last week to buy these cloches and they told me that they had been discontinued and would not be getting anymore in :'( this was in derby town centre.

I think this is the line they use when they can't be bothered finding out if they have anymore out the back or when the next delivery is.

They had them in Wilko in York yesterday for 4.99.Very strong hoops,hard to tell through the packing what the polythene was like. Wishing I'd got one now.

Never mind love they are open on Sundays
