    You drive to Wickes and buy leveling compound. Mix as bag says and then tip it out. Sorted.

    You're both wrong...What you actually do is run away as fast as you can, jump in a field, curl up in a ball, and suck your thumb at an alarming rate...Works for me..

    Nope. Ignore instructions after the 1st bag doesn't self level.
    Add one bag to a black garden bin full of water so it flows

    No,no Travis Perkins either, the best we get is B&Q or Homebase (formally known as Texas).

    Well, near enough
    B&Q do a local product made by a company called Larcens. I have no idea whats in it and of course they make all kinds of claims for it on the bag, so I phoned their technical section asking a few questions. My inquiries were met with a few stutters, a few ahems and some general b/s so needless to say I have never tried the stuff.
