I learnt much more useful stuff than what you did.I learned of that many, many years ago while still in school (before you
were even born) - along with many other useful things!
Perhaps you should have gone to school too?

You could get it in a car in a few loads. Worth three trips for £10K.Three and a half tonnes is nothing to Uncle Peter, he would carry that
