Well yes but then you are already covered in grease and oil so a bit
more from an old sleeper isn't going to notice. B-)
Start walking grease and oil into the house or come home with oily tar
on your trouser bottoms...

Please - details of this witchcraft. We have a Labrador (amateur ground
anchor) who can create a swamp out of a lawn in 3 minutes flat and this
stuff might be the very thing to reclaim some dryish land near the back
door. Turtle mats can only do so much....
sigh
We do love him though....I suppose.

You're welcome. There's undoubtedly other suppliers too - and different
forms of the same product. I believe there's a lighter weight version
supplied by a German company but it's a bit hard for me to find UK
suppliers from this end of the world.

Try
http://www.pavingexpert.com/grasspav.htm
for some ideas. Also try posting to uk.diy - the guy who runs paving
expert posts there and is really helpful. Saved us ruining a track we
laid at the astronomy centre, by teaching me about geo-textiles.

Grasscrete is the proprietary name for an in situ cast concrete "mesh"
that allows grass to grow in the holes, expensive.
Back on topic I was waiting for a comment from the silver 101 radio
body parked adjacent to the coal yard I mulched about 100 tonnes of
old sleepers last week.

Once again, thanks. I'll do some Googling soon, but I'm not too optimistic
about domestic back garden applications.

The grid systems work out at about 10 quid a square metre.

SY779891
I suspect it was non standard (belgian?)
Funny thing is that with so few 101s built I do seem to come across a
lot. 3 in regular use by people in my town alone.

Should you come across any others, can you stick a small note under
the wiper with
www.101club.org
written on it?
I think I know the one you mentioned, but I don't think it's a Radio
truck.

It didn't look right and did not have ladder or mast for a vampyre.
That's why I thought maybe one of the belgian ones, bearing in mind it
was close to a collector of those.

May very well be wrong, but I think it's actually a custom body (based
on the Radio truck design) which was added to a GS after it was
released. If it isn't the one I'm thinking about, it may be a LHD
Radio truck that was sold a year or so ago by a chap in North
Yorkshire. I'd heard it went to the Netherlands, though - mind, could
easily have changed hands again I guess...

I've had a look on the photos on 101 site and think it is a radio body
with roof box removed and a hinged spare wheel carrier added to the
back.
