looking again that ground is nuts
isnt it funny how you have a picture in your minds eye of how people speak before you actually hear them
with giles i expected a booming yorkshire accent ,bit like zak dingle 
i am on slippery ground here as I hate the sound of my own voice when i hear it,people used to tell me i sounded like ricky butcher off eastenders

lol are you sure that isn't a pond that has got overgrown with grass/turf?
I reckon that is similar ground as to what swallowed that excavator on the nearby Somerset levels back along.

We get it quite a lot on our sports field. Drainage is terrible, and runs down to one corner, and we get about 4-5 lumps. We dare each other to drive one of the tractors over one, but as its right in front of the Vice Chancellors office, it never gets done :laugh:
