People don't seem to know the difference between a nut & a bolt either.
As for digging the patio up, steer them in the direction of some ground that needs turning........... cheap gardening!! :rotfl::rotfl:
My OH was astonished when he asked for the shovel and I told him we didn't have one. I was using the spade at the time (admittedly I would have been better off with a shovel as I was turning the whole garden :eek:) and he reckoned I had it in the my hand. I then had to explain the difference, there was no internet in those days to show him the pictures :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

2 police officers knocked at the door. They asked me if the car parked out front is mine (it is, my drive was full of DS1 friends cars when I got home from shopping yesterday and Ive not been out since)
They then asked me why I have a 'shovel' in the boot:o:o I informed them it was a garden spade and it was in there because I'd just bought it and I had 4 other bags to carry so I left it in there to get out later (which is absolutely true!!)
The 'shovel' in question still has all the plastic wrapping on. I really wasn't happy with the way it was going so I asked them why they'd been looking in my propertyin the first place. The lady officer told me they can look in anyone's property if they see fit :eek: fair enough I said but why are you asking me about my brand shiny new garden spade? Nothing....no answer. I said if you are looking at my property because I'm suspected of doing something then at least ask me. At that I was told it was unusual to have a spade in my boot :huh: and they said some niceities and left??
!!!!!!??
They might be legitamely looking for something? and I don't even mind that they looked in my car. But surely they should know the difference between a shovel and a spade:rotfl:
I hope they don't dig my patio up :eek::rotfl:
Good jib it isn't like my boot as it is full with UdI's - now that would have been a difficult one to answer :rotfl::rotfl:0 -
