Asda
Tesco

Local industrial estate will have LOADS of boxes.

Any motor factor will more than likey even have the exact size box you need.

I dare someone to buy a large quantity of bubble wrap and proceed to do amusing activities with it while taking pictures.

Ideas:

1) Two people wrap themselves up in bubble wrap and proceed to jump into eachother / wrestle.

2) Wrap yourself up in bubble wrap and fall down the stairs.

3) Wrap all available furniture / items in bubble wrap.

Cool, i run my own sho etc etc now and am a frame builder. We get our stuff of Viking diect, loads of office stuff and chep too. The stuff i use to pack frame come on a huge roll.

By the way i'd go to a local bike shop and get a frame or bike box, there only card bord and you can cut it down to fit the bumper and just use extra cardbord and newpaper to pack it out. Bike shop and my self pay a fortune to have it taken away
