Righty-ho you lot, someone must 'know someone'...

I'm after some of that frosted-effect film to obscure windows. I've perused a few websites, but I'm a northern skinflint and I think £40 for 1.5 x 2 metres of Blue Peter's favourite sticky-backed plastic is, quite frankly, a farking ripoff.
So I was rather hoping one of you might know where it might be obtained a little cheaper!
I only want it for the garage / workshop windows, it's not as though Wedg1e Villas is short on privacy, but after 3 years the old newspapers are getting a bit brittle and starting to drop off, revealing all my tackle in its questionable splendour.

Any thoughts? Other than 'get yer hand in yer pocket, yer miserable old 2@...'

OK, here's one. Name THIS tune...

Stood still on a highway
I saw a woman
By the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own...

Excellent! For some reason that company doesn't turn up in a Google search. The ones I had looked at didn't do online ordering.

I've banged an order off, cheers for that!

Thats £40 for 3 sq metre.

Cheapest stuff on website = £7.50 per metre x 0.6 metre

3 sq metre = 5 linear metres of stuff

Cost = 37.50.

total saving .......£2.50

I got some in B&Q - can't remember the price, but most big stores will have it - ask where the fablon is kept and it'll be around there.
