Want ****ing banning! That is all!
When I was a teenager I used to sell those in a builders yard, 10stone each as I recall and quite tricky to pick up! How I used to laugh when folk asked for ten and thought they'd be ok in their boot 🙂
I need some 3x2 for my garden....! But will not specify any for a project.
Remeber picking a few up in my freelander it was bloody hard work getting them up that high
They are heavier than black holes. I laid a shed base but first,I had to transport nine of the bastarding things from my dad's house to mine using one of these.

He lived two streets from me - about 500m. I was ****ed.
Yep and i am sure they are noticeably heavier when wet. I have 30 of them piled up waiting for someone who wants them. After all, they do actually make a good driveway or shed base so it seems a shame to smash them.
shifter, they didn't do their workings out in excel before they came out, did they? here's mine, I decided that I'd ratehr shift 8 x 43kgs than 6 x 65kgs. Still needed some spreading out the back of the Mondeo, though!

Just done a shed base this last month. Carrying from front of the house to the bottom of the back garden proved too much like hard work.
After the third one, I found some old carpet in the garage & attached to the bottom & 'walked' the rest.
Didn't damage the corners of the slabs, driveway, newly laid stone ....& my back was SO much happier. - Still, I was glad to finish.

And I'm laying them "on edge" for a retaining wall scenario. Joy o joy!! 75 down about 35 to go 😐
Yep, and I've about 40m of them to lay, side by side for a path...
Mine will be getting divided into thirds and reused to build a raised bed. I have hunners o' the bastids.
where do you folks get these from? Expensive to buy at builders merchant
If you are close to kidderminster and can move them, you can have mine. I have about 20 i'd guess
Yeah, we've got some spare in Glasgow too. I reckon they're some kind of builder joke.
laid some last weekend.
Shifted 2 at a time using a wheelbarrow and hired one of these bad boys
