I went to stores whilst out in the Sand Pit last year. Am going back again this year ...... might finally have my order in stock!

On a slightly different but stacker-related point, you will be pleased to know that it isn't just our own "beloved" UK stackers that get it spectacularly wrong.

During the current bout of unpleasantness, back in 2003 I had the misfortune of finding myself in the MNF HQ in Baghdad. I was chatting to a Danish guy who told me a story about when the Danes rocked up in MND(SE). Having spent weeks slumming it in the desert, their logs chain finally caught up and to everyones' delight the first batch of supplies arrived in country. The ISO container arrived and was opened to much pomp and circumstance to find ............ a couple of snow ploughs and dozen lawn mowers!!!!

Only if we'd all taken lawn mowers with us, we could have been home by Christmas!
