dont buy one jus go down your local factories/delivery place like tuffnels or somethin like that an they will give you one for free as they are always throwin them out, or if they dont jus take one anyway

only certain pallets are worth money, euro pallets which are a certain size, normal standard pallet are not worth a thing. i work at a printers, we just burn them as they get in the way!

Last time I held a bonfire went round loads of places asking for their pallets for fire wood, most places told us to take as many as we wanted. Can't fit many in a corsa

Nip round the back of your local Wickes, they usually have ones there that you could use
As long as you dont take the ones that say "Wickes" on them, i highly doubt they would have a problem with you taking one
