I got one of those - put it together (to make sure it was all there) - Looks great and a lot of fun for my daughter but not actually sure if i am going to take it to Glaostonbury. For a start the wheels dont have bolts just push on hub cap type things. So now Im not sure if I can fully dismantle it again. Plus the wood just slots in and out a bit too easy and raincover would not I imagine be very rain proof. It looks cool - if we do take it im gonna make Darren wear a horses head! Or I thought about decorating it gypsy style!

you work for them, advocating them as your first post? :lol:

price seems good, though the site leaves a lot to be desired - no info on the product (weight of truck, max load weight, wheel psi etc..) and the shipping is a bit dodgy - automatically assigns me nice looking £4.99 delivery charge but at the bottom it says any wrong options will be automatically altered - in this case the £4.99 charge applies only to anything weighing less than a fishing reel! the real price id pay would be £7.95.

all in all going down my local DIY will prove cheaper and less dodgy seeming, but cheers for the heads up ;)

Just one thing. if you have not used a wheelbarrow on uneven terrain nor pushed a full one uphil, try before you buy. Whith wheelbarrows you have to lift and push at the same time and they can be difficult to balance.

We have a 4 wheel garden cart with big wheels that works great, just pull along and it can manage any bumps or mud.

gah well ive been around about four B&Qs now and scoured every corner, asked every staff member and looked some more but to no avail. they had some blue ones with tiny wheels - useless!

went with the focus one for £19.99, didnt measure car for it but it only just bloody fits! payload of 150kg been wheeling my friend around his uneven/broken brick back garden today - great stuff and he is 75kg!

incidentally whats the payload on the B&Q trucks, 150kg i imagine?

WHAT are the chances of being able to get hold of a plastic sledge in the middle of May? Should I advertise in my local rag perhaps as a Wanted item?

There are 2 on ebay as Buy It Now...reasonable enough prices too. No toy store would have any in stock would they this time of year?

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
