Those rubbery roads are rather lubberly.

I tried to buy a workbench today. I went to Ikea. On a Sunday. :shock: At 13:00. :shock: :shock:

I must have been mad, the 20 acre car park was full and the road queue went twice around.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Does anyone know when this sort of pave road (on the left of the photo) was first introduced? I'm looking at 18th Century, but a more specific time would be appreciated - eg were they around in Marlborough's wars?

Yep, you’re good with pave from 0 BC onwards pretty much. There are distinct references in France from 12th C onwards so Marlborough should be fine.

Just failed to buy some vintage Minot Thane Tostig figures which went over my limit. I do like them lots though.
