  19. Due to overwelming interest in our recycled cabins, we will in the future only supply cabins at our original price of £1500 to companies with charitable status. All other cabins will now be supplied at a flat rate charge of £1750. These cabins all sized 32 x 10 feet are manufactured to a high specification, with varying layouts including split 60/40 office, kitchen and canteen, toilet and shower, accomodation and locker, storage drying units. When removed off site these cabins will be fully electrically certified with full lighting and heating. The recycling exercise will also include all fittings and furniture used during the site project. To continue the green theme and try to minimise road haulage, we are prepared to arrange delivery free of charge to all purchasers within 80 miles of the sites being cleared. In an average year around 200 cabins will be moving off sites throughout the UK in 2009 they can be groups of up to ten but seldom less than two cabins. If you interested in recycling one or more of our cabins with contents, please register your interest by email to: les@multiproductindustries.com and we will contact you when cabins are available. Please check our "Current Avialability" section now as lists change frequently.

  20. sorry to say but i rekon 3 - 0 france think they will get caught out on the break hope not would love to see them go threw
  21. if i send lets say 20 to thurso and its a decent race i will expect and have got 18 it does depend a lot on the race 2 years ago there was no birds home in race time in essex combine i never sent to that one i sent to lnrc untill this year every bird i had went to thurso including yearlings and to be honest i wouldnt hesitate to send a youngster there either if it was allowered i sent 6 youngsters 340 miles and done it with ease all home at the right time most races ifind is down to feed and preperation
  22. i dont beleve 500miles is distance anymore as i said most birds should make that if prepared properly think ive dropped 2 birds at thurso in 3 years 516 miles and yet the 2 were paired together and had done it 8 times between them yet got all my first timers i think they found each other on route and moved off ??)
  23. 500 MILE pigeons come in all shapes and sizes i think 90 percent of birds can fly 500 miles down to the feed
  24. yearlings go 516 on north rd
