"Perhaps they are really tunnelling under your shop HD"

 Only the illegal immigrants probably - best to report them unless they can pay your rates for sleeping on the cellar floor.Surprised

I was walking across a building site with a workmate, talking away and not watching were we were going. He fell into a deep hole, so deep I couldn't even see him but I could hear him moving around.

I shouted down " Paddy have you broken anything?"

"No"  he shouted back " it's empty"". Smile

Holes are interesting if you are a geologist Never know what strata there might be below the man made top layer, that's if it goes deep enough. There' ve been some fissures in a road near us, took them two weeks to fill in‼?

I find such holes fascinating. Amazing to see all the pipes and cables that lie unseen beneath the surface. You'd really think that they'd have come up with something better than this by now, maybe some sort of services conduit covered by removable slabs.

Also interesting to see how thin the layer of road stone actually  is, before hole goes back into clay.

Well, people are looking at our hole which isn't even a hole .... yet Surprised  BT have identified, and spray painted a large area where they are going to dig, just outside our house.  All the neighbours have been coming to have a look Laughing

Ah -  now, round my way they actually number the pot holes so we occasionally get 2 x no3, 3 no1 s and all sorts of other duplications. In the end they repair the lot!

Well done that guy who added others into the mix!
