compost for home delivery
"Rupert (W.Yorkshire)" wrote in message ... "Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "Eleni" contains these words: "davej" wrote in message ... taxi? I have health problems - I can manage to drag compost round the garden but not in and out of a car... So a taxi is ideal, you can ask the driver to do both. Janet Sorri luv carnt do thart for ya -Ealth & Safeley yanose :-) lol But, unfortunately it's very true. Last time I tried this in a taxi, the driver refused point blank to get out of the car. I ended up splitting a bag while getting it out of the boot and had to pay an extra £5 for the priviledge because they refused to pick me up in anything other than an estate car. |

Any ideas please? http://www.taxi-vans.com/index.cfm Not a compost delivery service but they do mention garden centres as a typical place they will collect from. You get an extra pair of hands (the driver) to help you. I've not yet tried them but it's a good idea. There'd be no harm in getting a quote to see if their service could meet your needs. -- Paul C |

Also, getting ONE bag delivered for 20 quid carriage is expensive, but ... who only needs one bag? :-) -- Brian |

I went to my first Garage (Gay marriage) on Friday at Leeds Town Hall. A mixed bag of folk and it was brilliant and educational. I *smiled*at a woman called Christine and got chatted up by Chris-a very big butch transvestite from Hull. A Good time was had by all and the *garden* flowers were nice. |

They seem to sell almost everything else these days. P'raps you can check their online service - I don't think the delivery charges are very high and sometimes you can find a voucher for £5 off your first order. Alternatively, one could make a gardening friend who has a car and offer to share petrol expenses. -- Sue |

Brown and orange flowers-very 70's. Sweetheart- it clashed awfully with my jewelled posing pouch:-) On a more serious note -it was an almost identical service to an ordinary registry wedding service. I think the raucous laughter during the " taking of rings" may require a slight rewrite. |
