I remember a site in a northern city some years ago (was a flowerbed now a large fountain, on the site of a church). We did the evaluation, I was only Project Officer at the time. Machine sent to backfill did an awful job, taking about 6 hours to fill in three 10m x 3m trenches, so I sent him back to the depot and asked for someone else to come out.
This was about 4pm on Friday.
Half an hour later a new machine appeared. Young driver leapt out of cab, sat down on the grass with us, made and smoked an enormous spliff of home-grown skunk, jumped back into machine and in half an hour did a perfect job of completing backfilling and levelling off the ground.
Not sure what the moral of the story is, but it was quite amusing at the time.

I had almost the exact opposite experience when I was a Project Officer. I was running a an evaluation on a fairly large rural site. The driver got more and more stoned as the day went on. He only managed about 5 trenches per day, and they got gradually more banana shaped as he went. It was awful - especially when I had to explain it to the County Archaeologist. We ended up having to hire another machine to cope with how slow he was.

Was involved on a project where we had to work fairly close to an active construction site, where one of the forklift drivers took to indulging in a smoke. He then decided to lift a load of untethered scaffold poles across one of our trenches while a few we were working. :face-confused: Fortunately no-one was hurt, and a few minutes later he'd been shown the door.
As a post-script I'm sure that some of us are familiar with the spider on drugs test publicised by the New Scientist (

I think the TT forum would need compulsory cheese and wine party testing.
Close enough for a country job!

Would trowelhead care to provide us with appropriate bibliographic references pertaining to his/her wild claims? Would someone also like to explain to me how it is that to question a units professionalism on here is frowned upon but an individual can spout crap relating to an entire section of the profession and not raise as much as an eyebrow in fellow subscribers?

I beg your pardon? Are you challenged in some way?
