Saw some the other day in Wilkinsons.

Local branch of Staples? If they don't have it in stock, they will often order it for you.
That could be Fablon you're after. Rolls of self-adhesive plastic with decorative finishes. It's still sold in Woolies and diy shops.

Yes, I bought some clear stuff from W H Smith yesterday. Have seen the coloured type (Fablon) in Homebase, I think, or possibly Do It All.
Phone Blue peter and ask them.

Cheeky dog. Now where's that one I made earlier.....
Hurrah! Have Woolwies. Must have a gander in the nearest big W. Thanks for the name Fablon too - will make googling easier.
Don't have a Staples in Belfast. What type of shop is it?
Hurrah again! The biggest Homebase ever just opened last week, and just a mile down the road .
Was in WHSmith today but it was wee and didn't spot any.

Probably twice the price of Woolworth/Wilkinson/Staples.
See
and
for the range and prices from Focus/Wikes DIY sheds.
National chain selling cheap stuff from paint to clothes pegs to dog food to just about anything. I use them mainly for 13A plugs, they're cheaper than the DIY stores, and kitchen ware.

How many independent hardware / tool / paint / whatever shops will that kill off?

None, unless they drop their prices to merely statospheric. I can't buy anything from Focus or Homebase without feeling physically sick at the prices I am having to pay.
