I once had a customer in Slough Trading Estate in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and because I lived nearest I volunteered to drop his orders off from my car. He was very near the Mars goods inwards loading point for sugar and in the years I went there I never saw the bay vacant. There was always a bulk sugar tanker delivering sugar to the plant. The tonnage they consume must be astronomical.
It looks as if they've now moved the delivery point inside a yard, but there's a tanker delivering anyway!

I think scientists still believe there is a chance of finding intelligent life on Mars..
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolvingAnd revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
