If you don't ask, you don't get. . . .

I was wondering (hoping) that someone may have 6 grey block paving bricks (size approx 10 x 20 cm) that they have left over from their nice finished drive. Or have pulled up an old one. Not sure on how many different styles there are, but these have a tapered edge around the top.

I've got a sunken & cracked bit I need to sort out.

There's a drink in it for whoever at the Ace or wherever.

Failing that, any ideas on where I can buy such a small amount?

Cheers,

Dan....

I knew it................. i just bloody knew it :banghead:

Had a dozen or so of these round the side for the last year or two and a fortnight ago SWMBO insisted that they be chucked out.................. and off they went :(

Though lets be honest................. if i turn up at the Ace in a Ford with a boot full of bricks, it's not going to go down well is it :smash::rofl:

Typical!

Note to self - will put up list of stuff to be binned before it goes, to give anyone a chance! :D

I only want 6, how small is your boot? :D

Red ones, yes. Grey ones, no.
I bought them many years ago in Wickes; 21p each IIRC.

Brilliant, 34p each - will be cheaper than a pint. :D

Dan those are exactly the ones you want I suspect, wickes is where my builder got them from and they do have the tapered top as you want
