Default looking for a tank

HI ALL
Just remembered this about twenty years ago while we were restoring our first chev c15 i was sitting in the garden enjoying the sun when my son and friend came running shouting we have found a tank my wife glared at me and i knew what that meant, i said theres no tanks round here son but they insisted i look i said where is it they said down by the river i said what makes you think its a tank they said it has tracks so off we went walking through the school grounds over the A11 down pig lane to twyford lock and the river we turned right and they ran ahead i was then confronted with a sign saying PRIVATE KEEP OUT i thought oh god what am i doing but at least now i could say i was looking for them so on i went i was now in a swamp with water getting into my shoes and mile high vegitation then suddenly there they were and a rusty shape appeared before meand sure enough some kind of track and a rubber tyre as i got closer i saw massy harris on the side and realised it was a manuer spreader the chains driving the tines at the rear looked like tracks to those young boys i often smile to myself when i pass there .

Default ROCK PICKER

We use rock pickers for the frozen turds up here! I can guarantee you that there are likely a couple of young fellows (sic) on the forum that used frozen horse pucks for a pond game of hockey back in the day.
