Got builders in, seeing potatoes chitting on the side one commented "Oh that's a very old-fashioned way of doing it, we use the No Dig Brick Method."
What's that then?
"In the Autumn when the local farm is cropping potatoes you put a couple of bricks in the road and as the trailer goes over 'em loads bounce out. You just have to pick 'em up.... Works for carrots, parsnips..... it's a modern method, I think they call it No Dig!"
Bit later...
Builder 1: What you growing there then, boss?
Me: Shallots.
B1: Shallots? What are shallots?
B2: Shallots are posh onions. Posh people don't have burger and onions they have burger and shallots.
B1: OK, OK.... sounds like another 20% on the bill.
