I need to add 2 buttons to dress suit trousers. Having reviewed Youtube I can do this. I hope.

BUt I need 2 buttons. Thread A needle and a darning needle.

I need to get these tomorrow, in Nottingham a city that I do not know well.

I have no idea who sells buttons.

Any ideas folks?

John Lewis, they all have a haberdashery section, take the trousers along and they'll even try to help you find the right buttons.

This did not work. Still too bloody big.

I've just made an emergency run into the Bull Ring (now in Brum).
