if its just for rubbers and such alike then i dont think it matters too much mate.

good quality and a fair price with free del is the best bet.

cleaningspot are good.

if its for wfp stuff then it does matter what bit of kit you are looking for eg gardiners for poles...

i hate the fact we are already talking about winter!  :-\

guess its best to be ready for it.

with the gloves might be better off with trying a cycle shop or camping shop eg go outdoors ...

 Also- www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk

 GB,
      winter gloves is a tricky subject if you are doing some trad work. Some that get mentioned are just no good in my opinion.
     I suggest a pair of those black heavy duty rubber gloves you can get in supermarkets. Fully waterproof and more trad friendly than some specialist gloves. Add a thin pair of cotton/wool gloves underneath when it`s really cold; less workable but your hands are dry and warm.
    They may not suit you but at less than a fiver for both you`ve not lost much.
 You could £20 plus on some gloves and not get on with them.

My only wish is a decent wfp shop in a main city near me, would be fantastic.

I get really cheesed off having to pay carraige costs for everything i buy.

Must be one of only a handful of "trades" where we cant simply go to a nearby store for our tools.
