    no its water tight and if you spill oil on it you just wash it off

  10. @kev ...do you lay tarmac drives? I need someone local (Bolton) to do my driveway, preferably this summer....tried a few companies but the lead times are shocking....
     
  11. that looks good
     
  12. There a few "companies" on Merseyside that might want to, do do dont de do, do it for you. "Tarmachx yer driyve mayte?"- "got some tarmach left over from a job...."

  15. when the last cheroot-smoking posse swaggered up in betassled shirts and Stetsons, I confess I did have certain reservations....all the neighbours closed their shutters, and the piano-man stopped playing

    Ah, you are missing one of the primary benefits of block paving in you simply replace the blocks stained with new ones.

    Alternatively you could save them as I do and make a collage of a famous historical figure or someone that has inspired you.

    As I wait for enough oil stained blocks for Che Guevara, I've stacked mine to the left, it gives the neighbours the optical illusion of a speed blur, thus making them slow down for the nearby dangerous junction.
