Meanwhile Old Codger revs up his new potato trencher.

Ideal for double digging.

BRILLIANT..... Well done alan!!!

When OH stands on top, he can reach the church clock to wind it up

I find this piece of equipment a must, when harvesting my rather large Parsnips. :lol:

Dear alan, the new potatoe trencher is a great machine i have set my potatoes before OH gets his rotavator running,it is also handy to run round OH's plot to pick up the deer droppings, :lol:

OH tried to get his runner bean trench deeper than Oc's

Parish councillors arrive on site at Milton Bryan to inform OH and OC that greenhouses are not allowed on their site, so their recent construction, erected in a mere three hours, will just have to go :wink:

...at which point Old Codger reaches for his spade...

Alan, was the bulldozer driver [second picture] on his driving test ?

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2008 5:23 pm**

its not a bulldozer.... if you mean the orange one in the puddle , its a tracked slew digger. sometimes called a swing shovel or a hymac, sorry to be pedantic

but the media referring to any bit of plant as a bulldozer when usually it isnt is one of my pet hates.

Richard, no the second picture with the bulldozer stuck up on the buckets.

Once again some very amusing photographs from Alan and some amusing comments.

I have some sympathy with Richard P's pedantic point, also why do the media and commentators always refer to any tractor-digger as a JCB?

I know this also grates with my brother in law who has worked all his life for a Agco dealership.

Also why do they insist on calling the proposed barrage the Severn Barrage when it is planned to be built across the Bristol Channel miles from the Severn?

Hi Alan,

I thought that was Chantal and Seedling just coming to inspect OH's equipment
