Price differences in Portaloos, could be because of things like capacity.   Most I know is that once I'd got mine the prices started to plummet.

I might nip and see of local Netto had any fleecy blankets left later in the week.    These are great for wrapping around you when sitting out on a chilly evening - or as an extra layer of bedding etc.

Hi Danny

Is JTF the place behind KFC in Fenton?

We haven't got a card or anything, can you just go in to have a look around without a card?

Yeah thats JTF, no I dont think you can just walk in. Technically you need to be a 'trader'

You need to take into the branch 2 'genuine proofs that you are in business, i.e purchase invoices,utility invoices, VAT registration, business cheque book, plus proof of home address, or visit www.jtf-wholesale.co.uk for safe, simple and free online registration' (Taken off the last flyer I got)

Ive never had a problem getting in, Ive got plenty of friends and family who have got cards. If you are not self employed or whatever and dont want to get imaginative with the proofs of ID, then you must know a friend or family member who has got there own business? Most people know atleast one builder quite well, and chances are they will have a card you can borrow! If not get them to sign up its definately worth it! The place is HUGE and stocks everything you could ever dream of (House furniture, car parts, trampolines, Garden stuff, Playstations, Flat panel TV's, Power tools) you name it, the place has got it.

Shopping at REAL wholesalers such as JTF cuts out a lot of middle men (Bloke who is paid to decide what stock to get, stock taker, delivery to shop, shop assistant, catalogues etc etc etc) And as a result you pay a fraction of the price you would for the same product in most shops in the area, this kind of place is where all your local market stalls and ebay sellers get there stuff from!

The last thing I got from there were two car bucket seats ... and they only cost 100 quid (VERY big saving!)
