Title: Anyone live near Alfreton?
Post by: Chopsdad on 01 May 2007, 23:21:10

I want to bid on a cheap as chips Wetsuit on Ebay but it's PICK UP ONLY >:(

As it's only 99p I wondered if anyone lives nearby and could either post it up to me or bring it to the Lakes if you are coming in June.  :-/

What I do is ask the seller if they mind a courier picking it up. If they dont mind get thier address and go to www.parcel2go.co.uk and arrange the collection and delivery all for about a tenner :y

Or get one of the Derby crew to pick it up and pass on to Laidback66......we can then bring it to the lakes for you....

I can pick up and liaise with Rod (good excuse for a beer!  8-)) if you need me to? :)

Alfreton is easy for me.

Just a thought, but remember the last person who wore that was surrounded by water, and (due to the thickness) was prob off shore diving, so is very unlikely to have got out the water, undone the 'whale tail', unzipped the long johns to take a pee!!

Yes most windsurfers/ kite surfers/ divers/ jet skiers do do it, keeps you warm when in the water, but does rot the neoprene.

I woulnt give anything to wear someone elses pi55 soaked rubber suit!!  ;D ;D

Just my 2p worth

Let me know. I'll be staying at the usual dump!!  ;D

Thanks boys.  I've started the bidding and will let you know if I win.

It's a bit thick for canoeing but I hate being cold :D
