Yes, i tried that, and found the tome you linked above. Have you used this? i was reluctant to invest in something that may or may not be the appropriate product!
Seems strange that they would reference a manual specifically by title that doesn’t seem to exist, right?

Plenty of food for thought, thank you for taking the time out to write such a thorough response.Since you asked, pavers are pre-cast. the 600 x 300 mm size is but one of several standards, 600 x 600 square and 600 x 750 are also common.

They could both be described as anti-skate studs. They prevent skateboarders from “grinding” on street furniture, making them less likely to congregate in public spaces. Widespread now in major UK cities. The y are fairly uncontroversial but are sometimes discussed in the same context as “hostile” architecture, which is…[Read more]

I will ask around and see if any of my former classmates are prepared to chime in with their advice!

Just thought I’d chime in as a fellow UK resident. I studied in Greenwich, London, on both BA and postgraduate courses. I considered myself a mature student when I started (I was 28), but there were a number of students older than, some in their early forties.
