The problem is that I don't think it is deliverable if every household phones up, just over 40,000 I believe.

Oops..I missed Nicholson's earlier post.
So all 80,000 people are legible for a bag?
£6.6m divided by 80,000 = £82.5pds per bag, or £5.16p per kilo, or £5,156pds per metric ton. Still not quite there, Ken.
