    Cubic cubits does have a certain ring to it.
    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

          I just knew that someone somewhere would have been sad enough to write a Yards to Cubits (Greek) Conversion Calculator

          1 yard = 1.975850714 (Greek) cubits.

          So a cubic yard is approximately 8 cubic cubits.

            So we have a 64 Cubic cubit skip!

              At £250 it's quite possible that the 400 represents an unpaid bill of 250 plus admin and possibly court costs. They will probably be happy with 250 to collect the full skip.

              This is the kind of deal I would expect the CAB to cut, and the OP should use the CAB if the skip company won't play ball.
