Blimey, then either Elmes are giving me a good price. I do indeed mean
75x75 and 25x125 (I usually work in mm, but I know most DIYers/chippies
work in old money!)

They're probably quoting you for construction timber/studding. Sawn rather
than planed but these days it's a very good finish. You wouldn't make a
staircase out of it but fine for a bench.
