It was -1.5°C, blowing a hoolie & it had to be done haha :D :lol:

Aye, that's cos these days they're rarely emptied, other than 'by hand':lol::D

;)

So, Dan, in approx percentages, how much of successfully lifting those stones is technique/experience, and how much brute strength?:)

Percentages? Bloody hell :lol:

75% technique & 20% brute strength and 5% brains removed for doing a slippery stone in the snow haha :D

Lifting bars is easy, lifting stones (more so natural, odd shaped stones) is difficult. But, once you’ve got the grasp (pardon the pun) it’s like 2nd nature...

Impressive strength, but that has to be the worst rockery I've ever seen - I bet they wish they'd gone with somebody local :ner:

Marco looks just the same as that when he tips his bag of freshly-raked leaves over the fence into next doors...

You must have a camera trained on my garden... So no mention of my beautifully-formed 'manure pile'?:eyebrows:
