Cookie, thats what I thought when I first heard it, but apparently its true.
I'll get one out to you in the post Mick, were struggling a bit with them Mick tbh. They have been very popular.
Not sure about a stripping agent. I would call Gary, he will be more than happy to help

bit of feedback
the stickers do indeed want to "migrate"

however after seeing 2 customers this week both are keen to progress 45 m and 120m+

IMHO the sample box although not the be all and end all, is a great advert for LSP

Cheers for the feedback Tony
We have had this problem, particularly with the samples that have got a calibrated (ridged backs). We have instructed our suppliers to polish the backs of the calibrated sample. It will take a couple of months before we start seeing any of these new polished samples, so in the mean time we will be polishing them ourselves. I think we also need to slightly tweak the foam insert to make it less tight.

Here is a picture of the West London showroom extension. We even mananged to get a few plants in as well. There is a bit of a snag list to do yet but its 98% there





We are cutting these blocks up for a TV renovation programme. Its getting filmed on the 10th June



We had to install a granite slab in the kitchen. It was big old piece and the office lads had to get stuck in

Looks good Steve

personally I would of made all the risers on the steps the same height though

[lutonlagerlout]

looks fab steve
obviously they made the schoolboy error of building the steps before the patio went in and not allowing for the first rise

I have done this before

hopefully be down this saturday afternoon steve

note to self hold breath for photos :;):


the big saw in action


some sawn yorkstone ready to be cut into flags



as for your good selves in God's country mick it looks like palletline

re:londonstone's displays
it really does look the dogs doo dahs and just from going down the clients have immediately spent probably an extra £1500 on copings and cladding

thats what a good display should do

sell the dream

nice to meet ya steve

Good to finally meet mr Luton. I think we were in competition to see who had the biggest hangover. I thought I had won but, I think that tony with 2 hours sleep the night before, just shaded it.

I think your client made a good choice with the cladding and coping tony.

Like tony says mick, it has to be the dreaded pallet line. As a rule of thumb the cost works out at approx £40+ per 17.5m2 of stone. There always seems to be problems with Pallet companies though as the drivers always seem to be jobs worths who are looking for any excuse not to make the drop.

Yeah, they like to bitch and moan about having to take the pallet off by hand. For some stupid reason they don't send anybody out with the driver so he is left to take it off himself.

thank Steve

I actually typed this reply below yesterday but waited with baited breath for your reply half hoping you would of said the order will be delivered on a London Stone wagon - *SIGH*

the trouble with palletline and similar transport companies is the drivers don't give a dam about the customer and what time you end up getting your delivery as half the time they only started working as a temp driver the same morning, and I am sick to death of drivers who F and blind every other word thinking its big and clever to use dirty language

every delivery now has to have the name of company on the vehicle who I placed the order with or it will not be being delivered at all
