Rubislaw Quarry has lain dormant since it ceased quarrying for granite in 1969. Left to fill with water, the once largest man-made hole in Europe, if not the world, looks more like a loch than a quarry! There was over 8 million tons of granite came out of this hole and almost 75% of Aberdeen's granite buildings, bridges and monuments were made from Rubislaw granite. This strong and precious stone was so much in demand, it was sent to all corners of the earth and was largely responsible for giving Aberdeen its name as, "The Granite City". So what better place than Rubislaw Quarry is there to celebrate our granite heritage? Hugh & Sandy's vision for creating a visitor centre, where the citizens of Aberdeen and visitors to the city, can see where our granite heritage came from, could be one of the key projects that will help Aberdeen's bid for the City of Culture 2017 accolade. Talks have begun with Aberdeen City Council's senior officials and the owners are quietly confident their project will receive the support this iconic landmark, unique to Aberdeen, richly deserves.

Look I'm not lying to you, half those options do not come up. I shall maybe try from home. Not even I would be this obnoxious and damn right ****in difficult to deal with.
Same here - If i wanted to be bloody minded and deliberately obtuse I'd find a much easier way of going about it
And what about Dan. Do you know the conditions that lead to hydrogen cracking in high strength alloy steels? Go on google it and make yourself look a complete bell end. Stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels and duplex stainless steels?
