Magnets

Where can I buy magnets? Something like these,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8pcs-N52-Block-Neodymium-Super-Strong-Cuboid-Rare-Earth-Magnets-20-x-10-x-5mm-/121700560918?hash=item1c55eb3016:g:KCQAAOSwjVVVn5WG.
Not bothered if they're round or square, don't want to have to order from China if I can buy them here at reasonable cost.

Try Maplin
Or strip a few old hard drives they have strong magnets inside them.

Ted Johnson's in Naas have a selection of a few different types, but most of them are circular I think. I think the horsey people use them for something or other.

Thanks for that, will give them a call, I presume because of the horse connection they will be very dear, like mentioning Boat or Motorhome!

As cjhaughy said, you will find neodymium magnets in old hard drives and optical drives. These are the strongest of the permanent rare earth magnets

No I got about ten 3/4 inch circular magnets for about 5euro.. I got them just for using with a whiteboard.
