Well, technically it is but we still say 4x2 or 8x4 feet It's 100 x 50 mm it's strange, ply is 8ft x 4 ft yet plasterboard is 2.4x1.2 in metric which is smaller. Maybe we import ply from you?

Funny, our tape measure has both on so I measure to the nearest, eg, 4 ft 6 x 900 lol

Yes, and they still need extra crew, but 12 hour days and 2 - 3 hours of travel time is a little too much. What pig Stu? I dunno, saw something about a castle guarding pig...lol That was castle guarding "Gig" Eric was referring to the house sitting position. Oh. Nevermind....

Not been up that way for years, Scotland still has some nice forests, we have one about 40 miles away, Thetford forest. Lakenheath and Mildenhall are there.

yes but a shadow of what you read about in historical stuff. it was grossly overcut in the english colonizing days for ship building

So there's a real Sherwood Forest? Yes, of course! Where else do you think Robin Hood, fryer tuck and maid Marion lived?

The country was covered in big oak trees to, but not so much now as they are so slow growing. shame. All the houses used them from the old days.

funny Mikey. That's a shame Eric. Maybe that's part of the reason for so much destructive weather, Mother Nature's fighting back.

There is a pub in a village not far from me that was built from the oak timber houses that were destroyed in the great fire of London back in 1666.

That was a big steel industry area plus coal mining, Hence the brick work looks dirty from the soot
