Several RAF bases up for closure... so watch this space (e-bay) for other bargain items... fancy your own PAR?

:} Bulk standard office chair, I bought 3 similar ones when they closed down HR at LACC for the move to CTC. The ones in the Ops room at LACC cost £600 a throw and are MUCH nicer than the ebay object. :D

Hmm........I seen a few of those chairs in the skip out the back of CATC over the past few years........free to a good home as well as desks, filing cabinates etc.

I started using Ebid and offers there dont get this basic. They sell chairs without pedigree.

Well next time our sims get upgraded, they are going on ebay! You could have your own little ATC set-up at home! What a lovely thought, NOT :} .

Yep, I remember these chairs at CATC - certainly bog standard office chairs that were thrown in the skip when they started to break.

The "ergonomically tested" ones that replaced them are much plusher and comfortable to sit on (but sadly no more robust!)

Very enterprising advertising though, wonder if there's anything else going cheap at Bournemouth when they move down the M27? :eek:

I think we've tried and tested about 20 chairs over the last couple of years. Still no-one can agree on the best one so... yep, we still have the same type. :confused:

Bids on both the Mousemat & the Chair! My guess is the chair will get £8 and the mousemat £7 !! anyone care to make a guess?
