stu.graham Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Why not just hire a JCB, job done in no time at all Quote
Kev Bamber Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Can we have a class for standard shovels? Quote
neilwillis Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 A metal blade, wooden shaft, with a man standing at the back! Quote
Rob Navin Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 So can I use a titanium blade and still be in the standard class ? Quote
smithy Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 honda S2000 engine, (i've got one), bolt on a Spoon supercharger, (phone call made), RED ecu abd loom. = 340 bhp/290lbft torque mmmmmm nice. watch this space! Quote
Mark Stanton Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Would we have a B&Q Special Class for steel shafts and possibly bonus points for leaning on comfort Quote
Rob Navin Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Would there be a differenc in the type of work boots between the two classes as some boots would have softer compound soles and would give an unfair advantage whilst digging. Also can we agree a minimum depth of tread pattern left Quote
neilwillis Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 One class for shovels, one for spades, would a lightweight spade fall into the fork class cuz it would give you faster tines? And do we all despise Wilkinson Sword cuz they're no better than B&Q, but cost the earth! Or am I just digging a hole for myself with this theory? What about pit crews? Quote
Mark Stanton Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Spades, shovels, forks, boots, flourescent jackets, hard hats - tea mugs - so many variants, sooooooooooo many classes are we not in danger of creating a class for every individual Novice shoveller or experienced shoveller Does digging a drainage trench filled with pea gravel and a Hepworth land drain make you an expert in fully modified Quote
neilwillis Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Anyone with that sort of experience should be driving JCBs We need to keep the spirit of shovelling, and keep it open to people who have only dug small allotments, or even just turned over a vegetable patch in their own garden. Still, you pays your money and takes your pick! Quote
Rob Navin Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Still, you pays your money and takes your pick! This is just getting silly now. Picks can't be legal in class B or Q Quote
Mark Stanton Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Wouldn't picks qualify for all events up t'north as a reminder of a classic from a bygone era of t'pit Flat caps and pit ponies scrutineering and classification courtesy of Mr Billsberry I'll get me donkey jacket Quote
