It was an offhand comment somebody made.

I didn't even know it was true!

The real reason I didn't buy any is because I didn't want it all to disintegrate into a thousand pieces after the first mild frost of the year

wasn't my experience.

I had 30m2 down for years with no problem snow& Ice.

Here I'm going to have about 60m2 down but its all reclaimed so its seen frost before.

They have that stuff at my local reclamation yard.

I was going to buy some but was made to feel like a war criminal as it is apparently quarried by 10 year old boys in loincloths.

What's wrong with child labour? Worked fine for me - never managed to carry off the loincloth look though. Gingham dresses were more my thing, before MF gets in there.

Not sure what 'type' goes for that though!

Composite decking solves the slippiness issue and can look pretty good in various shades. Low maintenance as well

Not a bit. If they weren't busy in the quarry, ask yourself how else might thay be forced to earn a living to avoid starving?

Decking makes sense for steep sloping garden/outside areas to create a level, useful area on an otherwise useless space. That's the only time it should replace lawn or stone patio in the UK.

I was struggling to fall asleep last night and was sure this would put me to sleep - https://youtu.be/RRN0uClnJBw - 45 minutes later I was seriously contemplating how to live off grid. The contract invoices bring in good £££, but there surely is a better life to be led out there.
