Nice colour too - won't get lost easily when you put it down.

Unless you put it down in a bowl of bananas. :-D

I have had to paint some blue stripes on one of my bars so I don't loose it {rofwl} : I've got so much stuff painted bright yellow around the place, that I need something to catch my eye.

Only if you have an unlimited free supply of pallets.

This isn't a pedantic question- I would really like to know. Why do people have an unlimited supply of pallets? It seems quite a common resource for "those in the know", but surely they are comparitively expensive to produce in the huge quantities that they are used. Do no companies re-use them, or have recycling schemes or whatever?

my husband work security at a large retail shopping centre, most of the companies have to return them sometimes some are slightly damaged and unreturnable so they put them in a separate area to dump, so with permission i have collected load of those :-D
