    I buy a lot of mine at Newark market on a Friday. But for really big orders I do use Parker's.

    Toots, I used to call in on Newark Market every time I was on the way back from the east coast, must admit it was usually saturday.
    Chesterfield/mansfield/Newark were my 3 options

    Last year no one was selling at Newark. Is your info current, ie, up to date please?

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

  • I haven't seen any bulbs yet but I will report back when they are in. I have usually bought mine on the Friday market in Newark but I will check Friday and Saturday for the next few weeks.

    Cheers, let me know, I think I mentioned I tried last Sat and zilch.
    Don't mind a drive but don't like another wasted 50mile round trip;);)
