What is wrong with builders sand for a sandpit? A quick look on

In these parts, sharp sand is a better replacement for playpit sand
than
builders. It behaves more like beach sand and does not have as much
yellow clay in it.
Instead it has lots of lovely sharp edges that will cut the little
*******'s hands to ribbons.
He might not be married to the child's mother but that doesn't mean
the child was born out of wedlock.
But he was born out of wedlock. ISTR a news item that said in 2005 more
children were born out of wedlock than in wedlock, the first year that
this
had happened.

OK, so was my first child. I would still be upset if someone called
him a little *******, even if it's technically correct.

slightly less depressing.


There is only me that is married. Only for another two weeks or so though.
