What do we pay for these, by which I mean 50mm thick by 600mm by 600mm or 900mm? I find that I can get recycled ones locally for free sometimes in small quantities, but because they weigh from 45-70kg each it is not worth going more than a very short distance. Off Ebay recycled ones are about £2.50 to £4.00 each to collect, or £5.00-£6.00 delivered. I was looking for about 30 of each size today, and the best price I was able to get for new ones delivered was: Marshalls concrete flag 900x600x50mm: 6:20 inc VAT. Marshalls concrete flag 600x600x50mm: 5:00 inc VAT. Is that a good price? I feel I want to be at 5.00 and 4.00 respectively. Cheers Ferdinand

Does anyone have any indication of what sort of weight will crack a Pressed Council Slab (ie the 2" things that cost next-to-nothing on Ebay) laid on a gravel base? I am wondering how safe it is to lay a row of these on top of a gravel drive as a path, which would be down one side of the drive for ease of use by postmen etc and only need to be driven on when particularly wide vehicles come into the driveway. I'm think that anything car or 4x4 or transitsize will be fine, but I am unsure about 3.5-7.5 tonner, larger lorries or 4/6-wheeler tippers. Thanks Ferdinand
