The Halfords professional tools are actually very good kit. Expect the Torx and Allan bits to break with use, but keep the receipt and they'll replace them. Can't say fairer than that!

Aldi got all in one thermal undersuit for £15.99 on offer with the fishing gear. Can wear under a dry suit and a similar marine one would cost nearer 100 quid!

I've got to be a good boy so Santa brings me a 2014 Gul Code Zero Drysuit and a Raymarine a78 with in hull transducer!

Otherwise it's back to searching the web or hoping for a bargain at the boatshow!

The Leader of the Opposition has just got back from another christmas shopping trip and she's only gone and bought me one of those thermal undersuit thingies....

Having just tied it on (great impression of Big Daddy) I have to say, it's excellent value for money.

Thanks for the tip-off.

Great stuff

I haven't even got a dry suit myself yet but might buy one and stick it in the cupboard

Well Xmas is looking very bright indeed after recently getting a very good price for my rib, so its time to move on to flying lessons next, and a nice little SIB for the summer.
