"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:

"Interesting with the weibang I've had 1 for 5yrs bought new and it's been fine nothing to report as of yet which compared to the honda new needing a new back end after 18 months."
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.

Couple of mini tips on the post.
White space is your friend, so do look to put some paragraph marks between your writing, it makes it easier for people to read your work.
And the tags area is best used to describe the article so in this case it could be travel, business, paving.
I see what you wanted to do which was link back across to your own website, but you need to do that as if it was a signature at the end of your piece, more here on how to link to another web page.
Any questions just drop me a line.

Well - I made it. Of course the 8.03 had been cancelled so we hearded on to the 8.23 not before having to wait 30 minutes at the station wondering if the train would leave at all.
It is quite amusing looking at the back of a sea of heads as we all strained our necks to look up at the train timetable boards.
I made my way past the crowds on to a carriage-had to walk past 4 1st class ones to get to a 'normal' one.Then the enivitable fight of trying to find a seat. Why is everyone going to Birmingham the same time and day as me?
At last I found a seat-3 men and me.All huge too! I was hanging off on to the aisle getting knocked by eveyone who walked past. Ten minutes in and we were off.Loads of people suddenly appeared from other carriages looking for seats.
I get bashed about 30 times,coffee spilt all over my jeans and my foot is swollen from being trampled on.And I payed £66 for this!
Announcement comes on tanoid-they are letting people sit in first class from 2nd as there are no more seats! Typical- Why tell me that NOW!
Then another announcement.Due to the previous cancellations this train will now stop at Rugby and Coventry where more people will get on!
Oh my god-I think I want to get off.I can't take it.I should have driven.
After 2 hours I get to Birmingham.I want to go home!! Another 40 minutes to go to get to the job.My landscaper picks me up from the station except he can't park near so I lug my bag miles in the cold through concrete barriers to find where he is and we set off.
More to follow.......................
' Please forgive me I cry, I have to make a visit'. Mr Client awkwardly shows me to another small door and I hurry in before I am about to explode.
Once seated , we discuss the project with Mr and Mrs Client. I have prepared a folder with pictures and scale drawings and a brief.
After a cup of tepid tea we venture outside to look at the site.And , the heavens open.Typical. Cold and wet, I get my tape out and start pacing the ground.
I am so cold , my hands are stuck to the tape.Ten minutes later, Mr and Mrs go in. Michael and I stay outside freezing but carry on -such proffessionals!
We check everything four times and look over the site which seems smaller than the first visit. This always surprises me. It is like seeing a house for the first time. You have to go back so a second viewing and you notice other things..........
i drive to london from shropshire 30 miles, west from walsall - most fortnights cost £65 in Lpg (env freindly)......automatic / cruise control !!
