Oops! Watch out! Lots of railway sleepers have been lost off a barge near Ventnor

They make a great feature round the garden.

Cheers.

Yes I suppose a few sleepers will make a more robust garden path so the wife can waddle to the bird table without cracking a few slabs

Can't say I'd noticed your missus having particularly big teeth, but there you go... This is getting reminiscent of the 'cherry stones' thread - can you not get her a Porta Potti?

yeah, from the sound of it a good idea. Presumably this incvolves some form of colonic irrigation? If I here you I'd run a couple of gallons of bleach through as well.

So are these Solent Hazards the railway sleepers or the deposits from floating away from Jimi's boat?

Do they both have the same sort of size and density just that you cant smell the railway sleeper before you hit it!

Gawd, Could you imagine the mess if you hit a deposit that came from Jimi's boat????
