Seller recommendation

Thanks, always looking for supplier recommendations.

Some nice stuff eg:

Erfurt MAV Professional Lining Paper 1000 Grade £2.81

but some scary pricing in other areas eg:

Johnstone's Trade Acrylic Eggshell

The latter being what I usually blag at my local Johnstones Trade Counter.

The answer I suppose is to check the competition before buying.

They are a very old-established Colchester company, and used to have a very good stock of hardware in their shop in the High Street near the Castle. From what I remember it was not dissimilar to that in the Two Ronnies fork-handles/four candles sketch, though much larger. I knew they had moved out of town, and it's good to know that they are still going strong.
