Talking about potatoes, how the hell can you stop the slugs getting at
the tubers, but nothing expensive!

As I've said many times before... choose a slug resistant variety, that's
the cheapest and most effective method.
Kestral (SE) is well known for it's slug resistance and is a good spud
and keeps longer than you expect.
It's offspring Spey (MC) is also good and very similar, although can get
spraing.
Romano (EMC) red is a nice spud too and keeps well.
There are others.


Thanks, must try to remember those varieties, but will I be able to just
buy 8 of each, or will I have to buy a huge bag full?

If you go to a Potato Day (too late for this year) you would be able to.
