I'm sure they thought they were hard done by scraping snow! Of course I remember repeatedly [u]shovelling</u> snow off site in sunny Doncaster on more than one occasion... twelve years ago now, blimey. Of course we had proper weather in them days.
In light of that I think the Barrow-ers had it pretty easy. You had fun up there too if I recall. This years' MA students worked bloody hard and were less stoned than the lot you had.
To aching-knees - I think all that with the portaloo was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I remember an excavation with one portaloo and one tap between 64 people. Oh and before that another occasion where a sheep drank the elsan fluid - next morning a dead sheep with blue lips!
