I vaguely remember the rules back in the early 60s.

Youth (under 16) max about 40lb
Youth (16 - 18) max about 100lbs
Adult male (18+) No max.

I know we had to lift and manhandle Uniselecter racks weighing 17.5 cwt with 6 people. You could not physically get more than 6 in place to help.

My Dad's generation were even more rufty tufty. A chap I knew used to work in a corn mill. 2 blokes had to throw 140+ lb sacks up through a trapdoor in the ceiling.

Lifting stuff shouldn't hurt your back, if it does you are doing it wrong.

Bloody mad winds. Been awake since after 2am. The large picture window facing the direction of the storm is putting the shits up me by bowing and creaking with the gusts. Trees down locally,neighbour's fences and ariels too. The bastard is to blow all day in to the early hours tomorrow.

Apparently funeral directors are injuring themselves carrying overweight deceased. They're not happy.

'Bariatric' patients have been a concern for the ambulance service for a few years.

One US site notes:

Bariatric Transports
This specialty transport service requires a specially equipped ambulance that is modified to accommodate patients who weigh 350 to 1,200 pounds.

(That's 85 stone)

It's been cooler than usual recently, so too cold to sit out for our tea.
So fired up the BBQ and that chucks out some lovely heat. Fire looks cool reflected in the glass.

I’m sitting in a slowly cooling Sprinter as I have to wait two hours between jobs. The wait is ok. The not being able to wait anywhere near a toilet not so much!! The cold? I’ll just turn the engine back on soon 🤣🤣

But, I did reverse parked it, twice, today 🎉🎉. Very proud. Even sent the photo to my favourite instructor and whilst I’m pretty sure he was also mocking me a bit, he did say well done 🤣🤣🤣

Apparently I get the bigger version this weekend 😬🤞🏻🤞🏻

There is a car in the space at the front 😇😇

Damn,I forgot about that one. It'll be dvd material before I get to see it. :roll:
It would need to be very bad before I'd not watch an Alien flick. :D

Streaming now 👍.

I too love the Alien franchise, but some are lemons. This one is a smidge on the meh side. And has gone all meta with the throwback recycled lines.

I'll keep watching them though.

You when you think - I’ll make the bed later, I’ll do that when we get back from the airport, everyone’s hungry we’ll just nip out for a quick chat with mates and some food??

Yeah, got back just now - still gotta make the sodding bed 🙄🙄🙄
