I was going to suggest the local kid's playground

Playpit sand is rounded particles to do least damage in
eyes, and probably makes a rather weak mortar as a result.

Is there a problem with salt? Would you have to rinse that out very
carefully?

Ask the builders of Eilean Donan Castle.

(The answer's "yes", BTW. It was built using beach sand.)


I'd never heard of that, but I was thinking of the mundic problem.

Buy a big bag of sand from Wickes or somewhere (£1.60). What you don't
use either save or spread on the garden or put in the dustbin.

Why faff about?

The biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly

what it actually is.

I don't recall seeing many bags of cement at the beach.
Can you not still get those little bags of ready missed from the sheds any
more?

I don't think so. The Parthenon is in Greece. We were talking about
Romans. The Pantheon is in Rome.

I thought you couldn't build with 'beach sand'?
Mind you I suppose for VERY small quantities it won't really matter.

With sand being so cheap would buying a wee bag[1] from Screwfix or
Toolstation or even B&Q (other consumer/semi pro outlets are available)
not be an option.

Pinch it from the jumbo bags that TP and Wickes tend to have at their
entrance.

Or the sandbags that workmen use to stop their 'men at work' signs
blowing away in the wind.

PS Has anyone noticed all those coffee-cup shaped adverts for
Costa and other coffee-machines that are appearing outside most tescos
and other retail outlets ?.

Inside are 16 house bricks, the ones with holes through them (not frogs)
slid over metal tubes to weight it down.

Just in case anyone is desperate for some facing bricks and
everywhere is shut.

I knew the old reference to fool's gold, but didn't know it had a modern

One of my kids spent a year there, from his photos the countryside was
fairly sandy.
