Morning All. :D
Poor night's sleep.
Wifey had a little cry y'day it is all getting a bit much for her. :(
Have a good day. :D
I expect you have seen this already, but it does give pause for thought to you, your missus and any of us who have drawn up wills. It certainly made us rethink.
 
Morning All. :D
Today's mission is to roll up a smelly old mattress at the old gals house and chuck it out.
I am advised that rubber gauntlets may be required as it's a bit crusty and fragrant.
I shall be armed with some ratchet straps and some jute rope.
BIL couldn't manage it because he's "disabled" and none of his own children are willing to help him so It seems I have to do it.
Me & Wifey will sort it for the poor little chappie.
Have a great day. :D
 
A WW2 UXB was found in a garden down ere yesdi. They dug it out, carted it off (to the beach, i think) an blowed it up.
Weren't arf a bang..
Reminds me of when I was working in and around London Docklands on construction projects. The area got more than its fair share of bombs during ww2, about 25% of which never went bang. Location records of UXB's is very good, on some jobs we needed specialist (ex-army) personnel to keep a watch for stuff. On one site which we were pricing in Silvertown, there was a UXB which had dropped on a chemical works (which had long since been demolished), but was considered too sensitive to deal with at the time it dropped as the chemical works was vital to the production of explosives for the war effort. So it was still there, underneath where a new posh apartment block was to be built. The "experts" risk assessment concluded that if it went off, it would have the output of a sparrow's fart and not cause any issues. I couldn't help thinking of the historic photos of huge craters in London's streets, with a double decker at the bottom.
