I was walking through the park by the duckpond today when I passed a Sefton Council Parks and Gardens van parked up with three sons of the soil having a smoke and a brew and reading the paper. I thought little of it but upon my return about an hour later there they were, the same blokes in pretty much the same position. As I passed them I noticed writ large on the van door "Landscape Rapid Response Team":biggrin: I was musing along the lines of " OK men, emergency call out Ha Ha to be dug by June 2012 - go go go.... maybe you had to be there...

Reminds me of one of my favourite Joe Orton lines, where a character cries off from something because she has some 'urgent knitting' to do.

It's ok , it has more to do with the culture of local goverment rather than the worker's in the van

They must had taken lessons from our grounds staff, 24 movements with a hoe per hour, per team member. I have even applied for job with them maybe after 10 hard labour I will be allowed to drive the little tractor.

Then I think the're breaking the law which says that smoking in works vans with two or more people in is a no-no.
