I've been hanging around for a long time Tony; the site is fantastic and it's a useful barometer of the 'mood' of a critically important customer segment -the professional and experienced installer.
Although I try not to make a fuss about it I also tend to spot (and I hope deal with) any reported issues with my products whilst there's still time to leave a happy customer.
There's obviously a limit to the comments I can pass in public forum, but if I can ever be of assistance, don't hesitate to get in touch.
regards
David

The 'recycled slag' pavers are popular in the NE of England. You can see them used a road edgings and in back alleys where they've lain undisturbed for a century or so. Sadly, too many people don't recognise them for what they are and they end up in a skip to be replaced with generic concrete or tarmac.
The best source would be a local highways dept yard. There's an outside chance some will find their way into an architectural slavage yard where they'll be sold for silly amounts of money to folk wjho don't know what they're buying. I saw a good few tonnes of them being lifted and stacked in Middlesborough last summer - I can only assume they were destined for salvage, as there would be no point in neatly stacking pavers meant for the crusher...would there?
