Some will pay£80 for a good un.. when I started it was £3 an hour on the books. Mind you, we grafted for that with 9" block and 100cwt bags etc.. no forks either, all handball. Wimps got it easy today..and thats a good thing..

oh aye, if ya shovel was dirty, youd be in trouble with the foreman ha ha
