Well I was quite impressed with how sturdy and rigid the shroud was, possibly due to multiple coats of paint and rust treatment!
Anyway, it does fit rather tightly, so I'll leave it as is. My missus also thought it may have been a stone thrown up, but I reckon I would have heard that clattering around in there. Mind you, there are millions of the little buggers around these parts - 'gravel' driveways being the in thing these last years - at least for people too lazy to cut their grass! And as such, they are also too lazy to tidy up the pebbles they drag around out of their properties - and hence the roads being covered in the buggers! Our cul-de-sac has enough laying around to cover a beach - and they fill the drains up, too.
Add to that the road 'repairs (which we had done last week), where they just throw down a covering of tar and throw loads stones on top - and it makes it more likely than it was when I started. Hmmm.
