She does say that everytime she sees me I'm dressed up like I'm going to a wedding.😉

Ladies like a smartly dressed man. Fortunately for me, I've been married 30 years. TBH I'm in smart pants and shirt at work every day, but MrsF doesn't see that. She sees a sweaty cyclist, then me in a t-shirt and PJ bottoms most of the time ...

Couple of years ago i tried to skim a layer of concrete on top of the old driveway which never bonded properly , i admit it i made a c$ck up and now its very patchy .
What would be the easiest way to remove the newer concrete to try and get back to the original flattish driveway ?

I had exactly the same problem at the old house after id done exactly the same thing. I cured the problem by moving house.

I sent those photos earlier to a shocked on seeing them builder I know who advertises on the local Facebook page, telling him to beware if that house owner contacts him asking him for a quote to break up that concrete and lay some correctly. He's just replied saying 'Thanks! If he contacts me I'll tell him I'm fully booked up workwise, for the next hundred years'!!!

😁 🤣 🤣

Actually, you could possibly get that path broken up by one of these 'angry room' experiences. They are a thing. You will need a bullet proof gazebo, a few sledge hammers, some PPE, and you are a millionaire !

In my much younger builder's labourer days I'd have loved breaking that concrete up with a sledgehammer and a pickaxe!💪 Smash it up, then wheelbarrow the pieces up a plank onto the back of a flat back wagon. 😉 Whoever laid that mess should definitely be avoided if he, even possibly a she does such jobs for a living!👎

Hopefully the mix is a poorly done as
the hob as a whole.

We once had to dig a 6" slot across a concrete slab in order to lay a soil pipe for
a new dunny. The slab was only some 2' wide, though the cut was diagonal so maybe a 3' cut. The slab had been laid to stand propane cylinders, but was nearly 18" deep and incredibly well made and would not have disgraced Hitler's bunker. Took us a week to cut the trench, even with the help of a air powered rock drill. It perhaps didn't help that only had a garage compressor so had a beer barrel as a reservoir, which would take 15 to top up to 100psi, giving a couple of minutes drilling, then back to chisels and the sledge hammer. Hardest job I've ever done

Nice sandals and toe nail varnish. Is this a new look Accy.🤣🤣🤣

I was more concerned about the flowery top

😁 That's Jenny, or Mrs posh as I call her seeing she's from Leamington Spa.😉 She's a fellow cemetery dog walker (plus pigeon 'walker' as she takes her rescued pigeon with her, even on holidays, in a dog stroller)

The world needs more Jenny's 😄

Up to a point, I'm not sure about taking a pigeon on holiday, unless you're releasing it to fly home

I can think of at least one holiday where I would have enjoyed having a pigeon on holiday with myself 😉
