    Hanson’s have places everywhere, they have a quarry near me in the South Wales valleys, during the heatwave of 2018 they helped with water for the wild horses on the mountain.

      @@LenaTrucker I would spray the bottom half of your back door as well before you load. I will not stick to that either and make it easier to clean. Just don't get caught by the Tar plant.
