Slightly random Breeze Block question!!

Hello everyone!

Stick with me on this one! To be honest, i'm not quite sure where to post it but I hope some kind people might help me out on here!

We've recently moved into a new house, only to discover that the previous owners have left us 20 pallets (so about 800 blocks) of concrete breeze blocks. They're all still wrapped on the pallets and the delivery note is still tucked into them - which is how we know they cost £820!!!

They kinda take up a lot of space though (there's an understatement!!) and we'd love to get rid of them. But HOW??

So, any ideas how to get rid of 20 pallets of breeze blocks when all we have is a hatchback? And I know it's a little greedy, but if we can get any money for them that's even better!

All ideas hugely appreciated!

Sam

    If you're not fussed about the money, Freecycle them.

    otherwise try local builders, or maybe the company that delivered them.

    Which would be a perfectly true answer considering as how they prolly be building blocks. Industry hasn't used breeze (flyash) blocks for years.

    OK, OK 0 out of 10 then for overuse of pedantry! :D
