Ive bodged tubes by winding electrical tape round them before.   If there a shop or a boater you can scrounge some tape from.

Cable tie either side of the hole super tight, or tie a knot in it. Not tried but seen on google. Good luck.

Yes, in Guildford but could be at Pirbright, sheer water or byfleet in 15-20 mins

OK, AIBU that if someone's put a plea for help up, they'd either check in occasionally and/or say they're sorted? Not every 5 mins, but it's an hour since i offered to run out to them.

I'm not hanging on longer, Rich. I've got to go to the supermarket before it closes, will put tubes in car with me but if you do want them now, it'll be a longer wait 'cos I'll have to bring frz stuff back first. If you'd checked in I'd have done you then supermarket.

This sounds unresolved and a little ungrateful in not getting back to good samaritans...
