they said it would and was, well transported. The one taking stuff also
arrived when they said they would. I can probably find out who those
where, it was the other half doing the buying/selling.

IIRC it was about £80 to £100 for a pine wardrobe, chest of drawers,
bedside cabinat and mirror. They operate on a weekly run around the
country, once they have the pick ups/drops booked they work out a route
and give the ETAs.

Thanks Dave, I am going to look at all the links and advice suggested.

When living abroad do as the locals do. Find locals who have chickens and ask
where they bought their hutches.
I have already bought the Eglu!!!!

Chickens are pets surely?

DEFRA regulations for pets don't get much further than dogs ATM
