    Where to aquire velcro material?

    Hey guys and galls, once again I need some help. I just wanted to get my hands on some velcro material to stick my knee sliders on to. I've already got 3 different suits for different occasions with knee sliders but I also want to sew the velcro material on my fav riding pants.

    So, where can I buy some? Cheers!

    There's a place in Otahuhu, down one of the sidestreets on the east side of GSR that sells all that sort of stuff. Alternatively any sewing shop is likely to have it,

    Go to one of those Manchester shops which sells fabrics and sewing accessories. They have a great range of shapes and sizes.

    Thanx guys and I am not being a lazy cunt but I really don't have a clue about this stuff. Any name of a place would help lots as I need to go and buy it before Sunday comes around (big ride planned).

    They sell some sizes in shapes, and some shapes in sizes, but not both together.

    I was sure I'd have some work to do today, so I came in. No such luck.
    I could've wagged and had a nice day on the road with Firefight and that guy who hates me.
    Instead, I thought, "I know - I'll pop home for lunch!" Thought #3 was at home (he wasn't) and I set the alarm off when I opened the gargre door. I don't have my keys. Meanwhile, the neighbour comes over (good neighbourhood watch, huh?) Eventually, it stopped bleating (unlike me..), but as I'm putting the restrictor back in the Satantune, the gargre remote in my pocket gets nudged, the door opens again, the alarm starts yodelling. FFS... So, I went back to work, sans lunch...

    A comedy of errors or summat.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    No no no You'll confuse people. In fact, they sell sized shapes in sizes to suit all shaped sizes, and shaped sizes in shapes to suit all sized shapes. See, quite simple. Got to get these things right, eh.
