I suppose those who survive another winter archaeology ?campaign? (oh I forgot its spring isn?t it [manic cackle[:p]], would have incredibly small show-off holsters, containing trowels so small that they have actually ceased to exist, turning into ?dark matter trowels?.
The kind where the handles keep falling off and are frequently mended with super glue.
Mended because the owner worries they won?t find the edge without their lucky trowel, and mended in case they have to buy a new one and get mistaken for a new digger.
But really they could never be mistaken for a newie, for the smell, creaking joints, worn toecaps and strange demeanour gives them away (I?m speaking personally before anyone draws a trowel on me at the 'OK Ditch).
Could I have a holster? But could I have a gun in it?
It would be fun to shoot my sections straight ?}
