Just after Christmas I was buying some stuff from b&q, looked at the cement and noticed it was going out of date that day. Brought this to the attention of the manager an he said I could have the rest of the pallet for £40(think there was 56 bags):D

just used a plastic bag of cement that was 2.5 years old, when mixed, as all mortar should it went hard.
the paper bag I used was only 1.5 years old so it is impossible for me to draw any parallels!!

I was on a big(for me 500+sqm) sett job so they went within 3 days.
Went into Keyline for my next pallet load and noticed some out of date and asked for a discount...............no chance:D

Delivering samples no doubt, I recived mine 2 days ago and I must say I'm very impressed with the presentation and the products. This should give customers a better picture of how these products can work together thanks Steve .
P.S. I tried to guess the stone before I looked at the info on the back I had about 60% right the lighter limestone and sawn products caught me out.

So I assume they are going to pass out of date stuff to someone else, maybe deliver it and scarper.
OK if it's only just out of date it won't matter but why should the customer have to bail out the shops stock mismanagement free of charge.

pleased to report, said bricks were collected this morning

cheers tony!

its a steal ,its a deal its the sale of the century :;):
glad that at least someone will get the use out of them
if we had palleted them back to travis it would have cost us another £250 with haulage and restocking
cheers dan
