Interesting fact:

The British Sugar Corporation is now the UK's largest supplier of topsoil in the UK. They rinse the stuff of the sugar beet and now sell it instead of dumping it. Last year they supplied 50,000 tonnes of topsoil, 38% of which went to developers, under contract. The BSC's Hector Crump, head of its newly-formed Topsoil Division ejaculated: "The UK housing developer is a major market niche for our topsoil business as they are increasingly forced to develop more and more brownfield sites, where contaminated soil and sub-soil has to be removed. Replacing it with a by-product of the processing of such a staple foodstuff is a natural, logical step and we are going to make shit-loads of money of which I'll get some as me bonus."

Previously, the waste soil was stolen in the hems of the trousers of the workforce or sent to randomly selected addresses in Canada in Jiffy Bags.

According to Mr. Crump, "This bloody topsoil thing is money for old rope and I'm going to buy a Jag and a caravan".
