that it doesn't get weighed, the bucket holds a tonne or half a tonne and
they get counted during loading, the weight doesn't enter into it.

Oh yes it does. All sand, gravel, soil etc is sold by the tonne, and is
weighed either by weighing equipment fitted to the loading shovel, or by the
vehicle being weighed on the weighbridge going in and coming out. The
difference between the two weights is what you pay for.

If you check your local yellow ads paper, you will find loads of adverts
from people who will deliver these materials to your home or site, at £xxx
per tonne.

Took the words right out of my mouth. The guys who deliver to us have
a weighing device on the wagon.
