that'll be great if someone could do that.

maybe someone could buy a load of them and then sell them to tm members?

just a thought

Hey Seige - looks like a potential market for you ???

I went into another Asda today and they still had the old ones on sale - looks like they're just changing over so it may be worth while looking around ad buying up any old stock that you can find.

How can you tell the difference?

The old stock have lines along the stems whereas the new ones are smooth.

I bought some from Wilko's today - they're absolutely fine - corkscrewed with no probs.

Tesco Value forks. Check them out.

I'll have to check both of these out - thanks guys

i can't find a wilkos in central london

So are the tescos value forks any good ?


I have used the asda value ones and they were perfect but as everyone has said they have replaced them. The wilkinson ones (which I currently used) work but I have known them to break.

Needless to say here is one asda fork customer lost!

im going to phone up asda and ask for the suppliers details so i could get loads of them.

My suggestion is that if you're going to do this kind of thing - get as many different types of forks/spoons etc. as you can and experiment. Don't just do Morgan's routine - figure out for yourself what works and what looks good. Do a search for some of the threads on metal bending and get hold of some of the other material.
Read up on 'the real thing' - start with websites like http://www.fork-you.com then follow the links it gives. Try and get into the head of the general public with this and figure out for yourself what it is you're doing (or what they understand you to be doing). Why is the metal bending, how do you do it, why do you do it? What does it mean?

Tescos forks work great for the routine Morgan does - and they're fine to start with. I've never used anything else from the UK so I can't comment. I usually use an Elloff table fork because that's what's most common in the restaurants here in South Africa.
Find out what flatware do the local restaurants use. Try and get it wholesale - because if you really get into this you're going to go through a whole lot of cutlery (you need to if you're going to be any good at it). It's possible to go through around 100 to 200 forks a month.

Hope that helps.

And a whole lot of pot noodles as well (well you would need something if you get a bit peckish while bending the forks)

i've never had a pot noodle i've alwasy had the opinion that it is just a lot of chemicals

bah. walmart is way to far. i live in the US and i never been to a walmart. ever... sad.... but i have been to a walmart in china a couple weeks ago. but that doesnt count and even they had forks like 10 cents US each. they were all pretty heavy duty but i did find some forks at carrefour at china. pretty cheap and bendable. i havent tried it out yet

oh yeah, the forks at my school's cafeteria are perfect, and i think they are dominion... but they might notice forks dissapearing from their kitchen
