Where might I acquire a beanbag, other than John Lewis (bit expensive) or Argos (only come in bright white)?

There's a shop full of them in the stables of Camden market. Not sure what the prices are like though...

You get my driving license? I should be reachable by mobile if you need my physical presence after all...

Mine was an impulse purchase in ASDA some years ago.
They're simple to make, you could DIY if you want to. Or ask someone else with a sewing machine and a creative bent to do it for you.

You could always buy the bright white rgos one and then slip on a cover of your own desiring.

By the way, we still have a bag of eBay stuff for you. What should we do with it?

a beanbag for sitting on? and not a small one for playing sports games like you were at school?
I quite liked the ones in the shop opposite canal market in Camden. I think the shop is on a corner (on the east side of the road) near to where there is a bridge overhead.but they may be expensive too.

blast, probably thinking of the same shop as the first poster.

Coffee bean-bag

Get the bright white one in Argos and dip the whole thing in a big pool coffee to turn it brown. Sorry, not very helpful.

if the Argos one has a 100% cotton cover, it'll be dead easy to dye in a washing machine?

But it isn't easy to get the colour even. But what's wrong with bright white anyway? I like white, and I am sure it will turn gray by itself... ;)

Allders sometimes have them, but they're likely to suffer from the same problem as John Lewis.

The other thing to look at are large floor cushions - JL/Allders/IKEA - they might be cheaper and serve the same purpose.

IKEA, or the futon place near Kings X? (sorry, when more sober will return with links/directions)

Oh quite, I've never known anyone buy something self-assembly and it to be all there/uncomplicated (my sis and bro wasted *months* trying to acquire all the parts for unit), but I figured they couldn't cock up a bean bag.

Mind you, that sofa looks ultra-inviting. Only drawback is I can see it being difficult to get up/take interest in anything beyond it... You might have to start arranging dates around it?
