    Is that a metric tonne, a short ton, or a long ton?

    A metric ton, of course, rather than either of the old Dibnah tonnes*. Do we look like luddites around here?

    One thousand kilograms of stress.

    Don't forget you need plenty of tea and cakes to keep yourself and the vendor sane

    do look for the ma and number of rooms as well as their size, if they are according to your family. do look for attached or outside garages otherwise you may require garage builders help later on to protect your vehicles.

    You'll pick it up as you go along... But whatever you do, don't behave like the buyer in this recent thread on this forum-

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5516643

    In fact, don't even open that thread...

    ...unless you have a couple of hours to spare and really fancy a laugh...

    Good luck;
