About 8/12 M2 in a good day I'm getting quicker but the courtyard is 12 meters wide and each row takes a fair bit of setting up. But I've been told quality not quantity well that's my excuse!

that's about right mate 10m a day is usually all i manage per layer. Someone on setts every day of the year could do more but that's a decent rate for us mortals.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.....Truly stunning work, I love to see it.......and all the eating and drinking that goes with it. Superb.

This is one thing you don't get with blacktop, it's not interesting to look at, so it is often a welcome break for us to go out and lay some block paving etc.

When I win the lottery I'll have you guys round to do the paving works around my swish pad

I'll shout the food and premium beer!

It's if i remember when i worked in the yorkshire colleries derived from the tin they used to carry their food in. it used to be snapped shut to keep dirt out ( not that it mattered because the hands and face where covered in slack ) hence snap tin, shortened to snap. ''Don't forget your snap seedee and ecky thump m'ducks sorry''. A language all of it's own. :laugh:
