Folks,
This is tantalising. I would dearly like scoops like this, but I am not
quite sure what people are referring to: "cement mixing tub". Does anyone
have a picture or link to one so I can see what's being talked about
please?
Downunder I haven't heard or seen of anything I can equate with the pics on
the van, but I DO want a couple of scoops.
Thanks
Dave
