Earth moving in Cyprus
« on: February 28, 2008, 12:21:56 PM »
It appears to be a bit of a hobby here.... lorries full of earth removed from one place and dumped in another.... reason not always obvious. This week it has reached stupidty!

They are building a new road .... at t'end of my garden (well almost). For the last 2 weeks we have been entertained by lorries brining earth down the road and creating a new mountain (not a tat one BW!)

Today they continue to bring the earth.... BUT...every other lorry is going out with a different load of earth... the pattern seems to be 2 in - 1 out.

I'm convinced Cyprus will be 10 miles further south in the Med within the year..... if it hasn't sunk for all the concrete being mixed.

Suggestions?????????????????????????   eeek:











Oh this should be fun!!!!   scared2:

Dunno. We have tractors towing loads of sillage up the High Street and other tractors towing loads of sillage down the High Street. When it is not sillage it is slurry. This goes on all the time. I did ask why once and it seems that Farmer A has his farm at the Eastern end of the village but rents some fields at the Western end. Farmer B has his farm at the Western end of the village and rents some fields at the Eastern end. My suggestion that they could save diesel, man hours and my nerves by simply swapping sillage or slurry was met with incredulity by the two farmers involved and a round of applause from their wives (who were told in round Welsh tones that they obviously had learned nothing about farming in all the years they had been married)

I am sure Darwin will have a plausible explanation.

If you need a nap to cope with an night's drinking then you are probably too old to stay up late.

No sweetie, earth moving. Perhaps some more brain resting is in order.
