All that chewing gum is a disgrace. The stuff should be banned in my opinion

nice work hag , same work as i usually do. the chewing gum issue is a big concern especially when the stone is 100 pound plus a metre.ive worked with stone over 300 pound a square metre and weeks later its splattered with chewy . oxford street is absolutely covered in it. we either roll on or soft brush on an anti stick chewing gum sealer after laying. imo it doesnt do its job and at 300 pound for a five gallon drum not cheap either.i dont think theres anyway round the problem.was that marshalls fine sawn that you laid hag.lovely to cut with a pitcher.

I've quit myself. Put on a few pounds in weight. Planning to do the welsh 3000's in June, so should be an opportunity to get myself back in shape.

our scaffolder has set off today to climb mount Kilimanjaro
when asked what training to do they guide said
"start climbing your stairs every morning at 7.15,stop for a cup of tea for 15 minutes at 1 then carry on till 8 at night"
when you can do this without any problem you are ready :O

I have managed to lose a bit but have started walking at night,2/2.5 miles up steep hills
I used to do cross country for the school but that was 30 years ago and 11 stone :p

IMO chwing gum should be either banned or the manufacturers forced to make it biodegrade within a very short space of time. There's several area's around here that have been done with sawn york and huge sawn granite kerbs but they're all in the roughest parts and have been totally wrecked. Most pavements should really be done with a decent kerb and asphalt with chips its cheaper and looks so much better in bad areas.
Can't see it from my house

I always find training a bit easier when you are actually training for something. Gives you that bit more focus.

Kilamanjaroo, that would be good fun. Bet it costs a few quid to get on that gig. any ideas what your scaffolder paid?
