I have just found the ultimate forks!

They are like butter.

12 for £2.

In fact they may be too soft for advanced benders but for apprentice fork folks like myself they are excellent.

They are in a local cheap shop, one of these places that has a temporary lease and sells all manner of items from the far east.

EDIT:Sorry make that 12 for £1. Typo.

Good news, can you find out where the shop gets 'em from or where else they might be available. I found some wonderful ones in my local Chinese buffet restaurant t'other day and was going to ask them where they bought their forks from but was a bit embarrassed to after I'd absent-mindedly corkscrewed a couple.

Hi Bronz.

I've had a nosey around. They are imported by a company called Grover Imports. This is their website on the 'tableware' section. The forks are on the bottom of the list and I see that they are 45p per dozen if you buy in bulk.

Mind you, the picture is a bit blurry though I'm fairly certain they are the same ones. If you like I can send you a packet.

MORE EDIT: Yeah these are the same ones. Just checked the product code GR58. They are very soft, mind. As i say I'm quite happy to send you a packet to see if you like them.

Very intrested to see what these are like. 600 forks for £22.50 sounds like a bargin.

Bronz - If you wouldn't mind posting a fork to me to comparrison then please PM me and I'll let you have my address?

If they're OK then I'll order a carton to split with other TM readers.

I'll be happy to help by sending forks to sample if anyone would like one.

Feel free to PM me if you like. I hope they're ok, I'm quite new to bending.

Mark.

Hi Marvo

would you mind sending a fork to Dave Taylor (me )

If you wish, I'll happily send you a fork that I normally use so that you can compare? Just let me have your address. Tony Hyams also uses the same forks as I do which are the old WIlkinson ones.

Regards

No problems Dave I'll send one.

Yes your offer of a fork would be appreciated, I'll send you my address with the fork.

You ok having your address here in public domain?

I have it down now if you want to delete it.

my wilko ones ran out ages ago I,m using the woolworths ones at the moment.

Bendy forks !!!

I'm interested

That's no problem FRK. PM me if you want one to sample first.

I wouldn't want anyone to buy these in such a large amount without trying them.

If anyone else would like one, feel free to PM me.

thank you my friend, Pm'd!

I've got about 150 packets of Wilkinson forks left at the moment and I'm hanging onto those. I didn;t half get some strange looks buying them though

Pound Bargain and Pound Stretcher both have some ace ones in at the moment x

600 forks for £22.50 sounds like a bargin.

But that excluding VAT ?

SO HOW MUCH WILL THAT BE THEN ?
