I would say less than 3 weeks unless they have to match bricks already existing in locality.

I suspect the latter!

Depends on how long the House/Estate has been built. 8 to 12 weeks is my guess, sounds daft but it ain't! :D

Your expecting a quick job, or even just a normal, sensible length of time job. Have you learned nothing?

More than 24weeks; your insurance company insists that the bricks are properly outgassed.

I know the lead time on the ones I need.......

....and its not short due to the increased demand and lack of facilities to produce them

A housing development brick should be less than 3 weeks - depends who you are listening to and who is making the enquiries. Do you have the name of the brick?

Just think....If you'd ordered em at the time, they would be about ready by now.

I would normally wet myself with laughter at the ridiculousness of this state of affairs...

But somehow I feel that might be an inappropriate response :-\

Sigh, we found an alternative which planning agreed, although a bit pinker, and the markings in the face are more uniform than what we had, only to find they have a long lead time as well  >:(

Being shown another that is immediately available, though may be more red in than ours.
