They only cost about 60 quid bargain.

I am really not sure what you are talking about.
All I said was ladders inside, good idea

I was just not aware that such a long item could slip neatly into the rear of a van.
I suppose as long as I dont have a big one going inside I should be safe.
I wouldn`t like to have any sticking out of the end as I believe it might slip out or maybe the end could stick into somones eye.
Is there a law that says you should have somthing bright or red tied onto it?
