Folks, This is tantalising. I would dearly like scoops like this, but I am not quite sure what people are referring to: "cement mixing tub". Does anyone have a picture or link to one so I can see what's being talked about please? Downunder I haven't heard or seen of anything I can equate with the pics on the van, but I DO want a couple of scoops.
