Over the weekend I visited a friend who is having a house built. Now
sited outside were five quarter Metre cubed troughs full of mortar
covered in platic sheeting with the words Friday stamped all over
them. It would appear that these are delivered ready mixed and you
then have four days to use them before they cure.

Never heard of this, but I need some !! Would save a helluva lot of
mixer work.

Anyone know whats its called or where to get it from ? He was in
Doncaster I am in Bucks.

Contact Hanson ready mix concrete or any of the other concrete companies. It
is called premix mortar. They will supply it. Usually you specify what mix,
colour etc but they will all help in that. I am also in Bucks and have no
problems obtaining it

Ready mixed mortar with a retarder additive to make it last 2-3 days. Hence
the date mark.

Most concrete suppliers can supply it.

Try RMC.

Nah. They're filming 'Teachers' again.

The roundabout at the end of our road said 'Tuesday' in bedding plants
for about three weeks - brightened it up no end.

South side of Bristol - closed by the council and (I think) kept
furnished) for filming Casualty, Teachers, etc. I can't remember the
wretched name ATM. They shoot the exteriors all over the place. We play
'name that road' when we watch the 'going to work' sequences.

I've no idea where the donkey or the APV come from...
