I was going to write something on the need for a fairer voting system. However I have just moved 3 cubic meters of topsoil from the front of the house to the back, and I am knackered.
OK Not clever or interesting but accurate.
Now do you see why I don’t understand addicts to twitter and Facebook?
Does any one know how much 3 Cu M of Top Soil weighs?
hehe – you should have a general comment or feedback form where someone can leave a message rather than add to an already knackered comment.
Oh, nice pick. If you ended up with Prussia what did Graham end up with?
You are right, there is a dearth of info on the ‘net on this one, leastwise in relation to uniform details. Suprising really, it is easier to find painting info on the GNW than on the WSS. Try these sites:

Cheers mate
Oh, and in answer to your question above, and assuming a mean temperature of around, oh, 15 degrees Celsius, 3 cu m of water weighs 2997.3078 kg. Soil is a little less dense I suspect (whilst the soil particles themselves are denser, their is a lot of air in there as well so perhaps just a little "lighter" than water). Anal? Certainly! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density for really anal 😀
In case any one is wondering what that’s about – I asked Thomo for info on the War of Spanish Succession, and he obviously doesn’t have my email! Graham got the French.
Hold on- I thought 1cm cubed of water weighed 1 gram, not 0.9991026
