Call For Volunteers

No, it isn't.

A Readymix truck holds (IIRC) six yards, I need three.

You pay for what you take, you pay a (slightly) lower amount for what
you *don't* take (i.e. I'd pay a bit less for the three yards I don't
need).

If you can't take the complete load[1] they charge you a *shitload*[2]
for any that they take away.

There are blokes that'll turn up and mix what you need, you just barrow
it away, but they're also quite spendy and really not interested in a
three yard deal.


[1] Quiet in the cheap seats!
[2] £90 a yard, and that was about seven years ago...

Nigel Eaton says...

My Dad was concreting his workshop a few years back (about 60' x 40',
plus a bit of hardstanding) and took a half load to finish it off. Had
his half second, as it were, so ended up with a bit more than half.

Being the miserly **** that he is it must have been reasonably cheap,
you want me to ask who he got it from?

I'd give you a hand, but we'll be in Scotland.

I reckon most of those loads are got from a "bloke as knows". The
Readymix guys are all (AFAIK) owner-operators. And those part loads end
up somewhere... I'll settle for bags of "stuff" from my local friendly
builders merchants, and a bunch of willing suck^H^H^H^H volunteers, ta.

In October? You poor, poor bastard. Make sure she packs the kinky
undies.

Probably, he seems know quie a few of them.

Oh yes. The fleece lined all in one is packed already.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Nigel Eaton

Aye, if you go through the front door, kind of thing. You can put your
name on a list for a part load at reduced price; only drawback is you
might need to hop to it at very short notice indeed.

There's the MiniMix option, of course. Trucks half the size of RM.

I thought you were looking sheepish.

 

Nigel Eaton says...

That'll be the strong South Westerly, that will

 

Smooth move, mate. I'll be there.

 

Lady Nina says...

That's your role in this scenario.

Now, where are my wellies...

Ahhrrr, and I ain't lookin' forward to the journey 'ome, neither...

Anyway, you should be OK, so long as she doesn't get hiccups.

Want a lift?

Count me in too, Nigel.

 

Nigel Eaton says...

Ah, sorry to tell you this. But there's a far better one waiting to be
used.

I think he should definitely tell you. Then you should think about how
rewarding it would be to share the knowledge.

Butt out woman, this is "bloke stuff".

Nigel Eaton says...

So it is. Emailed.

You love the attention.

 

Got a gig that night, so will need to be away by mid-afternoon. But
otherwise, I'm in.

 

Kinky would be wearing it inside out, to create a sheep like appearance.
