although you can probably get them cheaper.

if you wanted the other type ive got one of the big square drop bag types up in me loft made of nylon, would probs hold same amount of kit.

I am reliably informed they are large enough to "pack up your troubles" in whilst using a "lucifer to light your way" if that's any help?

I think that's my taxi

Yep you guessed it, at the moment I`ve got a big nylon bag which is on it`s last legs to be honest.
