Where the hell do i find flexible tubing?!
Right we need clear/translucent flexible tubing with an 1"OD minimum. I'm have a hard time finding what i'm looking for, my google fu is weak.
 Tygon is the make i obviously went for, but they're expensive and don't seem to go over 1/2". Tried searching for vinyl, and polyurethane but without any luck. Ideally i need something an inch minimum probably just over 2" maximum. Cheap as well of course, and if it really matters (which is doesn't to us) food safe since you guessed it its going to be used for funneling  I've tried local Screwfix, B&Q, Homebase and generic hardware stores but they don't have anything flexible enough really, more like speed-fit plumbing pipe and nothing like watercooling tube Mucho thanks and drunkenness for ze help

Its a right pain though, i can buy metres of the stuff in 1/2" but i realistically want something with a bit more throughput....

Good call! Middle one was closed down right away just couldn't be bothered with the horrendous music they've got jigging. But checking the others at least one has what i want i just need to get a quotation which leads me to believe they'll want me to order 100' of the stuff
. I'll give them a ring tomorrow, see how a little bit of banter goes, asking for what are essentially cut offs to them probably .Top work! Your google-fu is greater
