There's one just set up down the road within bacon sarnie sniffing distance  Drool: Drool:

It's usually because they're filming but today it seems to be brought in for the guys re-laying the pavement. Those contractors know how to live  whistle:

Best location catering I encountered was on the filming of Superman IV.
Milton Keynes doubled as Metropolis ..We provided the security.

Michael Caine & I shared a lot of alcohol (Almost enough to make us Beshtesh friends).... nice guy.

Speak to them sharply .... Or break their slabs with your forehead.

Indeed, another sort of MA.

They're going to have to move the slab store in a a day or so anyway because they're working towards it. And where's the store situated exactly? On the pavement  ;D

I may have mentioned serving in The RAF (But probably not  ;))

At the Training Camp we had wooden huts to live in and they each had a "Coke Stove".
The coal store consisted of two wooden bunkers at one end of the camp.
On one occasion we had to shovel all the coal out of the full bunker into the empty one and paint the newly emptied bunker white. The following day we shovelled the coal back into the newly painted bunker and cleaned and painted the one we had just emptied. Two days later three tipper lorries came and filled the empty and pristine bunker with yet more coal.

Your paving slabs may be a similar job creation scheme.

Great memories come flooding back. I served my apprenticeship as a Stonemason/Paviour many moons ago. It was before the days of grab lorries and protective gloves, so after hand-balling 400 x 1cwt kerbs off the lorry, a sausage sarnie and mug of tea was more than welcome before statng to lay them. Happy days  cloud9:
