....and I thought the question was unambiguous enough! 4 replies so far
and no information. *sigh*

well i don't live in/near bristol. in fact, nowhere near Bristol. never
even visited bristol.
no, i can't give a personal recommendation.

hopefully that unambiguously answers the question

Gee thanks. What a waste of Usenet that was.

Arrived exactly on time (9AM - they said 9-10), dumped it precisely
where I wanted it. Lovely light, loamy soil - shredded & sieved. It's
now all spread out, rolled & grass seeded (fingers crossed).

Cheers,

Phil.

Thanks Phil, have made a note of the company for future reference
- sounds good.

Good luck with the grass.

Weather looks ideal for grass growing for a while yet ;-)

Have you had some wet then? no rain at all here since May 27th the odd light
showers which have visited Cornwall seem to have missed us completely

We've had a bit more than that but only a bit! We're watering and have the
spray lines on daily. People were coming in over the w/e from just a little
further up country, talking about rain and on Friday we were caught in quite
a downpour near Tiverton but not a drop fell here.

Not in my part of Bristol yet - still hoping, certainly need it.

A week ago Monday I came across some heavy drizzle south of
Bristol when I was taking someone to the airport!

Some drizzle, and many downpours overnight since May 27th!
More importantly, it's dull at the moment, so the soaking I'm giving it
isn't drying out....

Similar situation south of Bristol, Charlie. 6 spots now and again,
one thunderstorm, but nothing worthwhile for 2 months.
If the forecast is right you will be getting a good wetting in the
next few days. Us too; the Bristol Flower Show may be a wet one!
