[alpha_centaur]

Does anbody know where I can get Coughlans squeeze tubes, or similar, in the Uk?

I can find lot of sites in the states that sell them but not in the uk.

I think rik_uk3 looked at a few places over here but they were cheaper getting them in from the states in the end.

Might be wrong but it's probably worth giving him a shout.

If you only want small amounts to be carried in squeeze tubes have you tried the following idea....?
Buy your toothepaste in the biggest amounts/size of tube available.
When you have used all the tothepaste cut off the closed end and wash the tube out carefully (you end up getting at least one more brushings worth out of the tube ) - there may be some residualy minty freshness flavour left in!
Fill the tube with your desired filling (some interesting flavours may result for the first few usages.....) fold over the end a couple of times and clamp shut with a STRONG Bulldog clip.
Bingo - squeeze tube for free!

I had a load off a mate in the States a few years ago but someone did post a link here to a UK supplier a year or so ago, keep looking alpha they are there somewhere.

Perhaps an American member could do a group buy?

What about Johns idea for a tube; but instead of a bulldog clip some kind of slide on plastic seal like say the things used for holding paper together or those clip things for bags in the freezer ? Or some kind of heat sealing thing with an iron -maybe thats not a runner-Just thinking out loud ,but there must be something
Gonna keep my eye open in Lakeland and stationery shops
And the music from Shewies link above is still playing as I type!!!! lol it just keeps going on and on if you let it

Hey Alpha, just saw your post.

PM sent.

YHA shops used to sell them.

Might be worth having a look in Poundland(The chain version) they have a lot of camping/travel stuff as well.
