oh. it was old london radius by stonemarket and baggeridge brindle clays cut in half
we would have preferred to do a radius before the sphere guys came but we got the call to do the concrete base 36 hours before they came,and the paving wasn't even decided on :;):
so it was base 300mm concrete,then sphere,then paving,then romex

came back from italy with broke car and it was like that,so I'm guessing the numpties dropped it off the cabstar or something dopey
when quizzed i got the blank look routine
got the nice shiny one in the lock up for mortar,but that romex sticks like the proverbial to a blanket so we use that for romex now

its amazing what dunno and nobody can break innit?

oh i forgot the sphere jobby

sphere

a snip at 7 grand :;):

this is what happens when you let women go to the chelsea flower show

assuming you get 10 nice days a year and it lasts 10 years then its only £70 per day to look like joe90 sitting in a revolving greenhouse in the privacy of your own garden.

joking aside it is very unique and unusual looking,and apparently if you move you can take it with you, nicely finished too i thought apart from the shiny metal strip around the base which looks a bit cheap

cheers LLL :)

i know the feeling regarding damaged plant, air pressure test rig that was brand new on Monday morning, come Tuesday afternoon the fan motor is hanging off and the air funnel is bent, as what happened = it was like that when it came from our factory. i was in the office when it was delivered and it didn't look like this was my reply, there reply was that it must have been damaged in the trip over to site in one of our wagons. site agent told me they managed to drop it down a flight of stairs, still denied by the lads to this day. ???

I can't help showing my age and thinking that it looks just like B.I.G.R.A.T. in the Joe 90 series of the early 1970s.

I was watching an episode with my 10 year old nephew a few weeks back and fully expected him to sneer at the iffy puppetry and dated scenarios, but he was totally engrossed, bombarding me with a thousand and one questions. The great thing about a young mind is that if you plant the seed of the idea, their imagination does the rest. His 16 year old brother would ignore it completely because there is no cgi to do all that 'imagining' for him.
