For those who know owt or nowt about building...
One of my surveyors has just told me a tale of an eastern European builder working for an Asiatic customer. When challenged by my surveyor that they did not have any cavities in the walls the builder asked if he could go and buy them from B &Q…..
 I think enforcement looms!!!!

Ouch, you'd think by now that all builders would know the cheapest place to get cavities is in a sweet shop? I'm sure you can get second hand cavities from any dental surgery too?

 Might need to import them EDIT: Good news is, they don't weigh much so shipping should be cheap

Oh come ON!!!! Everyone knows you can't buy cavities. At least not from B&Q anyway.
I've always found that the best place to get them from is Travis Perkins. Jewsons are waaay too expensive! A reclamation yard is a good bet too.

No-one's mentionned a glass hammer yet.
Got a few of the new starters over the years at my uncles old double glazing firm when I was kicking around helping out (read: hindering). |
