Sounds very interesting. Can't seem to access it though!

Hi there, It's been a while since I lasted posted on here, but I'm hoping the locals are still as friendly as they used to be! ;) Could someone please advise me on who is the cheapest UK supplier of Fallkninven F1's? £65 seems to be the standard price, if you can't find it cheaper...

Edited and added!

Whoops, yes, quite forgot that one!

Make sure it's a metal bucket too!
