My mother and father were in the raf based at swinderby (just before my time) and lived in a cottage in collingham, i was hatched at Newark hospital and apparently moved to st Ann's when I were about 4months old. My dad knew a guy who had a farm in Eagle, his name was Cyril ........ I did know his surname, but buggered if I can remember it. The one thing I remembered about Cyril was, although a smoker, never used an ashtray, he would always flick his ash into his trouser turn up!!.

Think of all the snooker cues you can chalk and lines you can draw with that lot !!
You could put your painting talent to use, doing those chalk paintings (chalkings!) on pavements and get a few bob for your efforts, no expenses=100% profit, just stay below your tax allowance and its win win.

Our drive in Norfolk was nearly 150 sq mts of brick weave ( best part of 7500 blocks) and i covered that ok ! Or do you mean that the joints are too wide, as you get with permeable paving ? Otherwise I don't know what you mean by too many to be effective!

Put mine down as well please Clifton, whenever I Google stuff (well most of the time) i never seam to get the answer I was expecting yet others ask the same question and get what they want !!

The only reason that your friends have had problems is because it was not done correctly. Unfortunately there are plenty of cowboys out there that will pick up on the slightest hint of no knowledge. As I said earlier, weeds will not grow up from beneath if it's been done correctly. That applies to Any sort of paving, be it slabs, blocks, asphalt, shingle etc.

I'm not sure what your impression of a sealer is, but it comes in a liquid form that you simply apply with a roller. Usually 2 coats is sufficient .

Nonna, just use the power washer with a fan jet, not the needle point. Once clean, resand the joints and use a good quality sealer. After that you won't need to get the flame thrower out again. Oops, meant to say, providing your patio was installed correctly to start with. If not, then keep the flame thrower handy!!

Blimey Carni, your old enough to be my sister. There's folks out there (go on you tube) old enough to be your mum that go wingwalking. That's basically folks that can't afford the seats inside, he, he.

Blimey Carni, for someone who doesn't fly, you get about a bit. Conceived in Gedling, born in Penkridge. You just need a passport and the 'world is your lobster' as dell boy would say.

Maybe not fly, but they put a lot of Nottingham related topics on here!! I am sure there are a lot of other members that feel the same. Might be wrong, lets see.

I always have to look up at the bedroom window of the room my daughter was born in as we pass. Aah. memories.
Would that also be the same room as the conception took place? Only wondering,with the remark, Aah memories. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

Right then, lets get this one sorted. It doesn't matter what you put down, if it's done correctly weeds will not grow UP from the surface, they are deposited from our feathered friends and windblown seeds. However, no matter what you put down, weeds, moss etc will be there at some time or other. So choose your finish, do it right and just be prepared to do a bit of annual cleaning.
