As it is absolutely raining it down, I thought I would read thruogh a few of the old brew topics (guess that makes me sad).

I've come across one that discussed flags from Marshalls, and you said they shouldn't be bowed. My problem is that I've just laid 16 m2 of Marshall's chancery flags, and we couldn't get them exactly lined up in places, because the top surface is bowed. This is the first major DIY job I've done thats gone okay, to plan, and now I'm worried that I should have done something about these. Should they be dead flat or not.

Please note it's not a major problem, but they cost a lot of money, so I would like them correct (although there is no way on earth I am taking them up).

no they shouldnt be bowed
reason for bowing is bad mold making or they dont support their molds when manufacturing you do get diffrent profiles on molds.
if i have a bowed one then it gets removed from service untill i sort the problem out ,but it should be noticed before your product leaves yr site
send em back ,or better still if youve layed em get them out to have a look

How bowed is bowed? If it's just a couple of millimetres or so, you're unlikely to get much joy out of a Marshalls' Rep, but if it's more than around 6mm, and it's apparent on a number of the flags, then call their customer services line.
