Peter harvey has a website looks like their only branch is High Wycombe


Peter Harvey

I cant find a website for Whittingtons but they have branches in Hayes (london), Covent Garden and at least Leicester there may be more

Cheers
Sue

I think Whittingtons at Leicester Market is closing down, i think they have a branch at Nottingham still- last time I went it had a pretty good choice of stuff.

i get most of mine online now, i used to go to country baskets but ive had less time lately to go there and its much quicker online. Ive used quite a few different ones but the last couple of times ive used 'hotdog', for general sundries, finding him very reasonably priced, his company name escapes me lol, sorry bout that hotdog

Being stuck all the way up here I tend to have a trip down to Leeds Country Baskets every 6 weeks or so as the Glasgow one doesnt have everything I need.
Like Apple I have also started to use Hotdog at

Florist Supplies UK - Wholesale Florist Supplies

and find he has a brilliant range, and also very competetively priced. He also does a next day shipping.
