A simple costing. You can get a paving slab for around a £10 at Wickes.  So 1 million pounds would get you 10 million slabs. 

Not wishing to split hairs, but £1Mn spent on paving slabs @ £10 each would get you 100,000 slabs. 100,000 standard size 600mm x 450mm (or 24” x 18” in old money) slabs, laid end to end would stretch 60km (or 37miles in old money), which is the distance between Sheffield and Leeds!

Now there’s a thought to conjure with!… 😆👍
