How many 33.5kg concrete paving patio slabs...
...can you fit in a 3.5 tonne box van.
Well the guy who bought my 145 slabs (4.85 tons) thought he could carry them all. We did the money transfer, I showed him the slabs and left him to it. He then knocks the door a couple of hours later asking for a bit of advice. "Do you think I might have to take some off?" He says. The fuel tank is touching the floor and the tyres look flat. "Yes" I said. "About half of them if not more". "Bugger" came the reply. "Was hoping I could do it in one trip". "Try about three trips" I said. So I left him off loading the slabs again.

 The only reason I was there at all is I am off work with a neck injury. I warned him before he came I would be unable to help with the loading.
