I'm trying to complete an article about how tastes in imported stone paving has changed over the last 20 years or so and to illustrate a particular point, I need a photie or two of the *underside* of a strip-milled/calibrated flagstone, the bit with all the parallel saw cuts.

I can probably get one when the weather improves next week, but seeing that I'm trapped indoors until then and I want to get this piece done and dusted, I thought I'd ask if anyone had anything that might be suitable?

It needs to be a 'modern' imported stone. I have plenty of photies of strip-milled Rossendale flags from years gone by, but I need summat to show how we've re-discovered old techniques.

A few Brew Cabin Irregulars have sent in some photies - Michael, Noony, Stewart, Max and others - but I'm always happy to see new ones, just in case they illustrate a particular point.
