Call from the council

[Andymacp]

Had a call today from the council advising me not to sell my firewood by the m3.

Obviously I asked what I should sell it by and they said it should be large/medium/small bags.

She said weights and measures act doesn't cover firewood so I don't have to say.

Which council is this? What daftness.

[Hodge]

That's insane, how big is a big bag etc, unreal.

[Sparkhazey]

Complete madness!

Sounds like someone in the council was bored.

You can sell it how you like so long as the customer gets what you say they will get.

And I would imagine if you added 1m3 "bag" then you have covered yourself fully.

 

You sure this weren't a bored competitor having a laugh ?

I had a similar drunken discussion with one of my friends about this.

I was saying that when talking about a meter cubed of anything I always visualise a builders 'ton' bag.

But my mate recons that they are not actually a meter cubed, and are less.

I'm not really arsed either way but just thought I'd see what anybody else's views are?

Builders bags come in a multitude of sizes, all our bagged stuff states bag size on the website and we tell customers when they phone to order.

Have you tried selling by the A34 instead? That's close by.

Apparently it was an anonymous complaint by someone who thought 2m3 was 2m X 2m x 2m even had chalk lines drawn up in his garage with the sticks in the middle ?!?!

I said it has to be by measured bag but she said that was for sand and building materials.

Ehhhh! You are selling a stated volume of material. If Joe Public doesn't understand that, then how is that your fault?
