The mine officials would sift through the dirt and run everything through a metal detector. They never found anything. After many years of working there the man retired. At his retirement party in the bar after work, his co-workers asked him how much gold he had taken from the mine in all those years and how did he hide it. The answer.... I was stealing wheelbarrows:) Bonnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052974547161586063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-78812429485803021152015-02-27T08:40:22.637+00:002015-02-27T08:40:22.637+00:00Both of ours lasted about ten years, Jayne which i...Both of ours lasted about ten years, Jayne which isn't bad when they have sat out in all weathers, The main problem will be keeping a new one - we may have to go back to padlocking it,Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-31592549096353391082015-02-27T08:32:50.717+00:002015-02-27T08:32:50.717+00:00Happy to make you smile TanyaHappy to make you smile TanyaSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-83175032481450681122015-02-26T22:51:09.319+00:002015-02-26T22:51:09.319+00:00The only barrows that will last are proper builder...The only barrows that will last are proper builders' barrows; they are not heavy, are well balanced and can cope with all manner of use - and abuse. Plastic, especially 'interesting coloured plastic' won't last one season. <br /><br />I got 9 years from the last one and left it behind when we moved. The current one is 7 years old and on it's third repainting (I mix all the old cans of Hammerite and chuck whatever colours results all over it!). It lives outside, gets rained on all year and still hasn't let me down - bless it.<br /><br />You watch - this weekend it will collapse. And I won't blame the poor little thing. LP uses it and plays 'games' to see how much he can load "to save more trips than necessary". He probably gives our wheelbarrow as much abuse in one summer as I give in five years :-{Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-24302209878300516052015-02-26T20:26:08.518+00:002015-02-26T20:26:08.518+00:00This put a huge smile on my face Sue...so happy to...This put a huge smile on my face Sue...so happy to be reading your posts again. xTanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-58033672654841993802015-02-24T23:05:58.236+00:002015-02-24T23:05:58.236+00:00I didn't get one, Angie so it won't be.I didn't get one, Angie so it won't be.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-80889823584992843362015-02-24T23:03:05.296+00:002015-02-24T23:03:05.296+00:00They have stabbed me a few times, KelliThey have stabbed me a few times, KelliSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-2519404557364967192015-02-24T22:58:15.951+00:002015-02-24T22:58:15.951+00:00Tell me Sue, are you buying him a gold watch for h...Tell me Sue, are you buying him a gold watch for his retirement.
