Mystery paving - What's this?

[vauxpops]

Afternoon all.

Wonder if any of you chaps can help to identify some paving? Firstly though, how do I get an image on here?!? That would make it easier.....

I can't find the paving in a brochure anywhere and want to extend my existing driveway with an exact match if possible. The drive is about five years old.

The blocks are brindle, and a mix of 200mmx130mm and 130mm square.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

jokes aside we need a picture

Looks familiar...Can't think of the name though...lol

I know you need a picture. That's why I asked how you post one. Tried all the obvious stuff, but it doesn't seem to work. Seems to want all sort of complicated stuff involving iB codes and I'm not nerdy enough to be arsed with it.

So, if you have any idea of brindle blocks at that size without seeing them in a pic, then I'd be grateful for the benefit of your expertise.....

upload your picture to www.imageshack.us
then select the bottom option (direct link to forums)click on the image bar on the ib code buttons then copy and paste the hotlink into that
bit fiddly the first time but you will soon get the hang of it

You want us to identify a block but you can't be arsed posting an image....well, don't expect to be overwhelmed with replies!

If this works, I owe LLL a pint. Two if he gets the paving too!

Pints are in the post to you both. Hope the jiffy bag doesn't leak - creme de menthe makes such a mess on the carpet.

To earn your chaser, any idea how I can get hold of 10sq.m of discontinued (according to the Bradstone website) blocks? Or got any hints on something which is still available and close enough to the original for the missus not to notice the difference?

Much appreciated etc.....

try jewsons ,when we need out of stock bricks they ahve a national database of odds and sods at different branches
you might have to pay haulage from st.ives or st.andrews but if you need to match ,thats the only option
or look on salvoweb or ebay

Yeah lol you can almost guarantee that there are a few palletloads of these hanging around somewhere, just somewhere.......

My neighbour told me that he'd used about the amount I needed as hardcore when he extended his house a few months back. I think he realised I didn't approve when I strated to cry.....
