Default Flytying foam

If any of you like to you use foam in your tying patterns check this out on ebay 320710548511, the traders name is giggle-squiggle and basically you get 2 A4 sheets of 2mm closed cell foam (he has quite a few colour options available) for £1.60 delivered which compared to other suppliers is an excellent price. I have no connection with this trader (other than stocking up on foam sheets)

whoops, I've just been informed it's even cheaper to buy at your local supermarket

Yep the Range for me to, bought some two days ago. But well done for spotting the ebay deal and passing on. Not everyone has a Range store nearby .

Oh, the humiliation - and from a Chelsea supporter as well

Out of interest, I tried searching for closed cell foam, and foam on their websites but got nowhere, so thought that they might call it by some other name.
