    I am sure Roadstone (N17) would give them to you for free if they have loose ones lying around. 9 might be a bit heavy for one trip depending on your car.

    Was afraid that might be the answer.

    9 Blocks spread out around the car would be fine

    A block wouldn't be over 30kg, so 3 in the passenger seat (or floor) and 3 each side in back would only be same as having 3 big enough lads in the car.

    Possibly the likes of McDonaghs, Woodies or B&Q would have something.

    Higgin's in Shantalla and Chadwicks have them. Much handier if your in the city center. Handily a friend came to the rescue. No purchase required.

    ... and the car handled the blocks far better than i did.

    blocks are more like 5kg
