go round the back of your local shopping centre/retail park and look in the skips

a long time agao i used to work for currys and the skips were always full of people looking for cardboard boxes

Try a wholesalers like JTF; Im sure that theyve just opened in Nottingham too. Ive had some excellent boxes from there; its pot luck of course, it depends what theyve been putting out on the day that you ask.....

Go to somewhere that sells TVs and see if you can get one of theirs from a display model or something. If you'd asked a few weeks ago you could have had our TV box which is bigger than you need

if the back seats drop it'll go down, it didnt fit in my Terzo because the back seats dont drop in them, should fit in though arrgghhh, could have measured it this morning if I knew, Im at work now though, I can guesstimate the sizes, let me just get my measuring tape out

Box is probably closer to 50" long, 40" high and 25" deep.... again thats a guess....

Not sure if Im going home at lunch yet (need to tax my car but cant find my V5 form ) Will let you know.

Just found a box at work actually, exactly 30" long, 40" high (you can cut the height down though easily) and 23" wide (might be overkill for you though. The offer is there though ?)

Commercial egg boxes are very similar in size. Try any largish hotel.

Not a dull question but, suprisingly, a SIAL
