Forgebeartanks.com for a start. Dave is a member of this forum. Very good for upgrades. If you are looking for slightly different tanks you could try hayaltd.com. He sells quite a range.

Re: good supplier of tanks and parts in the u.k
I welcome the interaction between members of the Forum but it does make redundant many sections of the Forum which are packed full of the very answers that are repeatedly being sought by members and yet these areas of the Forum are obviously not the first point of reference by the questioner's, and why do we have a search engine?
I seem to be one of very few people using it.
Sorry, I think I am going stir crazy.

But just so i don't deviate too far from the original query in this thread, the obvious choice for Taigen and some Heng Long bits would be Forgebear.
The obvious choice for non-PC satire, however, and jests dissing the 'snowflake' society, would be Larry David, in 'Curb your Enthusiasm'. It's outageously topical and funny...in my jaundiced, (not Jarndiced) ex-LGO opinion
