I want Magnets

Options
I needed some magnets for tomorrow my online order failed to show up and is delayed so i need to get some from a high street shop.
Maplin used to sell Neodymium magnets which are really strong magnets.

Any ideas where i could pick a couple up from? i did take my old hard drive apart to get the magnets out of it but they are not strong enough.

any thumbs up on where i could find some magnets in the high street i would be grateful

    You could always rip a speaker open, I am sure some use neodymium. More than likely to pick a setup cheap in a charity shop or cash converters if you don't have any lying about.

    They are to big. however i did find that maplin still stock them although they keep a small stock of them "just 1 or 2 of each" which is fine.

    so i am going to head over there and get some. i spent ages looking for magnets in there catalog and then i search on their website and they have them on there He he.
