Useful suppliers

[GillyBee]

I thought it might be good to share any useful suppliers you have found which might not be the usual "High Street" ones, especially as we are likely to be seeing a run on torches and lanterns now.

Here is mine for starters.

We have used them for our AGM batteries and general electrical bits & bobs. Online only but where else are you going to find a choice of nearly 60 different head torches at all price points? Also worth checking for home security bits, plug in power timers, assorted solar lighting etc.
