Help me!

I have just found out that I need 4 new tyres and the best price I can get for even budget tyres is £400!!! I dont have a flash car (the opposite in fact - A MG! ) but they have 18" tyres which most tyre places dont carry stock of, making sale prices impossible to find. Anyone got any idea what i can do or where I can go in MK to get a good deal (I can find a lot of 2for1 offers, but not on 18")

Tyres are 225/45/18R

Not strictly MK but we use Bedford Wheels in Kempston, not so good on the budget end but unbeatable on the high quality stuff

Have you tried Fred the Tread in Woburn Sands?

Another Milton Keynes Moneysaver here

The cheapest I can see online would be Falken 452's at 97 quid a corner but that woudl be plus fitting.

if you really want to save cash , I'd consider swapping wheels for some 17's , they wont be that much smaller and you'll find tyres much cheaper

Hi Guys,

I have just been to the Debenhams 25% off sale in MK and whilst looking at the Bras I found a soft cup Wonderbra reduced to £6.60 from £22. If anyones interested they are on the bottom rack of the Wonderbra stand. Style no. 17656.

Bargain!

Cheers

Sarah

Samples (full size) available from a stand outside the Works. Yum.

One of my Puppy School owners told me the other day that a pair of strange women have been sighted around Willen Lakes (and possibly other places) depositing a white powder around the bottom of trees and lamposts. Dogs walked in the area are then being very ill with vomitting and 'the runs' and needing vet treatment. The Park wardens are aware and are warning dogs owners to be on their gaurd, and at the same time trying to trace these nutters!

Is there a really nice Chinese restaurant in MK - I mean somewhere that serves very good food, not just cheap
All those I have found so far are rather average :beer:

The only chinese I have been to are the Samip and Royal Lido in the CBX cmk.. they are not too bad tbh.

If you like Indian or Thai try the Jaipur!

There is one in the Theatre District that a friend has been to and descibed as a nice chinese for a special occasion (and she's used to eating out a lot). I think it's called Taipan.HTH

I know they are renovating the motorbike place in Woburn Sands and it's going to be a chinese restaurant - is there one in Woburn? - there used to be, that was very nice.(there's a great takeaway at Brogborough!)
