I'm with Manatee. I too said this 45 years ago.
Thought: Last year I was talking to the head honcho of a small ish ready mixed concrete company.
Apparently they get their cement from spain, have their own dock in Plymouth and receive 7 ships of the stuff per month. I do not know the size of the ships, but that's pretty much irrelevant.
One small company in the West Country. Then there's the aggregate.
Same subject, slight deviation. It is bordering on impossible to buy decent workable inland pit sand for building. There's all sorts of carp out there, from sea sand to waste from English China clay workings. All of it not fit for purpose. Apparently the world is running out of sand/aggregate too.
All joking aside. It is already far too late............................
