I have been considering the skip situation. The road in to our village is cobbled. We live on a terrace. The gardens are at the front of the terrace. At the back of the terrace people park a car outside their house. Parking on the road is a bit limited but we rub along.
The neighbour having work done has parked her car on the road. OK with that. The skip is now parked at the back of her house. OK with that.
The poor bugger doing the work has to shift tons of old pea gravel and soil........ by barrow, along the front of the terrace, down the cobbled road, along the back of the terrace to the skip.
The skip is roughly the same size as the car my neighbour has moved to the road to make room for the skip.
Someone hasn't thought about this 🤔
