Bit of a no no job in summer ,let alone in this sort of heat.
Once,did a fairly big lawn ,including banks, and told the owners to make sure to keep it watered.
Of course he didn't water it and called a week later asking why all the turves had shrunk and dried up. Moron.

Only 25 mts to finish a garden design. Got to be done to get paid.
Yeah I’ve had one of those. Let his grandchildren on it the minute I left then wondered why it looked like a rugby pitch after an international :roll:

Used to be a landscaper myself for about 20 years in London, then Torbay. Used to love the work, but winter could be tough sometimes though.

Nice innit? It's 34 degrees in Sutton in Ashfield. I'm in the garden securing the hedge so our dog can't get through to next doors garden (using green chicken-wire) in my shorts and trainers, white fat belly out sweating like a tw@t and loving it :) I love the sun me (postman aren't I)...

Put it on your bucket list 64 , you can waste at least a minute and a half seeing ALL the sights.

I actually live in PZ btw, born in Madron

Haven't been to Penzance for a few years.

Didn’t try, I’ll leave that for women who want to get pregnant 😉

Ps, my wife told me that but she didn’t try either 😁

Got the week off work, but can't do anything other than sit indoors and catch up on some shows. It's way too hot inside, just as much as outside. I went to record store earlier and it was so cool in there!
