Carnage begins. M6 solid here. Chock full of grockles . Every assorted version of tin tent known to man plus the usual gaggle of dodgy looking van lifers.
Brilliant . Look at you like a peasant when your dragging an ifor rattling your way up the inside lane past em all

well if you must have such a palatial bush hedge to trim
you'd be doing it with a Black & Decker 30 years ago

And shears 50 years ago

Every box ticked!!!
Transit van
Irish plates
Trailer full of brash on its way to a lay-by
Indecipherable Irish accent
At least 6 children

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

Feck, when you put in writing like that, its thought provoking

The only difference is i only have 2 children, but there's normally 3 or 4 of someone else's knocking round

And the fact that every **** and there granny is out to the tip today and its taking an hours round trip to do less than 3 miles, the next load is very likely to end up in a lay by somewhere

Still doing a shift. Flailing. Heavenly weather.

Not necessarily: half track fordson deathwheel anyone?

not as deadly as those NZ helicopter blade type things

similar to this but with two gert blades like rotors

not the one I'm thinking of but along the right lines

one I was thinking of had 10ft + blades and'd collected several hundred yards of fencing wire

this is very similar

Last one sounds like it wants to take off

it'd only burn at a given rate though and you'd need a long reach to feed it for a fire to reeeeally get 'chewing' through that lot at any decent rate

I like to think I am quite competent at reversing. I couldn’t make this outfit go backwards though

I'd agree - that'd be quite a handful

Sleepers and steels this week. All up steps too Made good progress yesterday though, nearly filled the skip by 3pm. All carried out loose or in trugs. Don't think I'll be going on many bike rides this week

 

[William127]

Didn't think I'd be at this point by 3.30 on day 2 No, the tops aren't level , I'll be cutting them off when we decide exactly where we're finishing it
