I'm in the north west England, and can travel for a good supplier.

I have a local steel stock holder, but want to start on alu.

Would welcome any pointers please chaps.
I live in Preston and I have struggled to find a good local Ali supplier, so far I have used eBay. If your looking for scrap lumps to mess with you could try Recycling Lives at Red Scar 01772 654321 They have a huge scrap recycling place and I've seen piles of ali outside. They may let you buy some bits off them.. not sure.
