taxi ray 170 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think this is a lot of rubbish, the cost alone must be astronomic. It is 4,500 miles by road passing through various countries. I dont think that it would pay you to send it by air either. Is the sand that was used in Nottingham special, as surely there is plenty in Dubai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I know of a fellow (Seriously ) who did sell sand to the Arabs!! He ran a road cone manufacturers and exported them to Saudi complete with the sand in the bases that acted as ballast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
