I've got a massive loft right, all converted, but sod all to do with it, the younguns too small to sleep up there and the other youngun isn't born yet...

So I was thinking about getting a massive scalextric track, wanted a pool table but the door up there isn't wide enough.

Anyone know how much this stuff costs these days are the best place to get it?

I'm sure you'll be able to get one in Middleton Grange Shopping Centre.

Get yourself to a car boot mate, you can normally pick up boxes of the stuff for very cheap prices, a bit of wire wool for the dirty bits of track and you're flying (or driving)
