Here's a dumb question ........
 
Right, I know having renovated that ruin I should know this, but can anyone tell me how much a breeze block (parpaing thing) costs?

I have tried to get onto the Brico Depot site, the Bricomarche site all to no avail to find out the prices of their stuff.

Probably a question for Ka Ora! the Main Man of Renovation and Tool Usage ....:D

you're welcome, and thanks for the compliment! I'm not in a constellation, but my name is one of the Roman goddesses and she no doubt sends me inspiration:)

Aha, dmu, it must be lovely to be named for a Gorgeous Goddess, who was translated to the skies for her good deeds.

I think "Andrea" means Chainsaw Wielding Amazonian Practicality Personified, and, once dead from exhaustion and asbestos dust, I shall be unceremoniously shifted in an old sand sack, to the Ornamental Stone Section of Brico Depot to carve me own gravestone which will say:

"I told you I was ill and knackered"

Ok, which is it? Diana or Bravo?

My mother-in-law is one too.
She pronouces hers, or I suspect her parents did in the heady days of post war Surrey: Deeanne - a la francaise in fact.
