| | | (...) Yvonne, Pick and mix is exactly that - £6 for a small beaker and £11 for a large beaker full of bricks - and there's lots to choose from. The Bullring is Europe's newest and largest shopping centre (I thought all girls would know that ;-) and (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Is it really worth the effort, or is it more the challenge of getting the max. bricks? For 2x1s I wouldn't have (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.loc.uk)

If it takes you 30 mins for 600 bricks, versus, say, 1 min (just dumping them in) for 450 bricks, then in purely financial terms, the extra 33% is questionable. Consider as a very naive measurement, (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.loc.uk)
