those gravel boards made 240 quid plus 15% premium plus VAT :oops::oops: ........ less of course the 5 missing from the described 80 no. ... be an interesting discussion with the auctioneers when there were only 75 to collect, described clearly as 80 :LOL::LOL:

Popped into my concrete lads and telling the crack about this lad they know him and the lad he’s working for and called his boss up. Turns out he pays his lads max £180 a day self employed so ambitious claiming to be on £220 currently
Suppose it was worth a punt 🙂
