Boatmans next model

[stillp]

Chris, I've had some good bargains from Hobbies, and I used to visit a nice garden centre on the way back home - can't remember the name or location, but their cafe served a really nice fish & chips for £5.99 for pensioners! I did actually go to the Colindale Hannants once, while visiting the RAF Museum, but they (Hannants) were closed for stocktaking that day!

Miko, much as I like Yorkshire, it's a long way from Rugby, and I don't think John actually has a physical retail shop.

Oh, shame, it's when I read 'click and collect' I assumed. . . oh well, nevermind

According to Google maps Halifax is closer to Rugby than Lowestoft

Never noticed that. I'm ashamed to say I only rarely order from John.

Doesn't matter, I'm not planning to visit either! 😞

There's a lot to be said for visiting a large model store, although I haven't been to Lowestoft I have been to Colindale Hannants, it was quite the pilgrimage and put a large dent in the bank balance! Online stores are super convenient and generally more economical but a nice day out can be had for the ardent scale modeller!

Why not take a trip up north and visit gods own country and head for West Yorkshire? Halifax is lovely this time of year! Maybe John will give a nice cheeky discount!

Sweeten the deal a bit!
