your local tar plant will also sell it, we have a local one who will batch any order down to half a ton, but you pay for the hassle, cemex for full loads or wagon loads much cheaper per ton.

dave did you get the letter of cemex explaining the £1.30 price rise, i only glanced at it.

at least its just the GFs uncle ,if it was the potential dad in law i would be worried

TBH dan I have been caught many times by spurious relations looking for cheap jobs "when you get a minute" or "in your spare time"
when they ask about freebies or cheap jobs now i just mention working out a price and they go all quiet :;):
the bottom line is that when you go shopping they dont pay for your groceries ,
good luck dan
