How did you survive prior to the internet making information easy to find?

Having access to much less information made it easier to focus.
The abundance of information is great, but it's much, much harder to focus.

Also, of course, as information, especially technical, was mostly available through formal education, books and magazines, which were all expensive "businesses", the average quality of information was much higher. Publishing crap content was risky and thus relatively uncommon. Now that publishing content is virtually "free", obviously the average quality of availlable information has dramatically decreased. Now if you have enough background to sort it out, it's great. But if you don't - if you're still learning the basics - then it's a hellhole.

I am in the south east.

Ideally I'd like someone to take the whole lot.

I’d take them in a heartbeat if there were a way to get them here that didn’t cost a fortune.

I'm in the SW, and the nearest I'm likely to go to the SE is Stamford via Bedford/Oxford.

My house is already full to the point I might end up on TV in the future, so I couldn't take much

Hence it seems like I've had a lucky escape!

I did an estimate and it looks like 150kg total. This would easily go into a car. It takes about 1 day to drive to me from CH.

I got the office to look at shipping options but to my surprise there wasn't anything cheap, which I would have expected for this kind of material, sent by road haulage. We probably didn't look very hard though. The best price was GBP 800+ which is ridiculous. I am sure you could find people to drive there and back for less
