Thanks for all the help guys.
I have just read a reply saying you can get adaptors for the valves @ 45p each cheaper than new tubes, also self adhesive patches are a good emergency, but prone to problems with heat...if we get any real summer, and if the pressure drops a bit (tyre) these patches will tend not to be such a good idea (in australia all patches come with a little tray and a cramp..you literally vulcanise the repair, but it is a bit hotter there sometimes)
