I have a spade, I call it the bloody shovel.

It's getting very FOGgy in here again.

That's because you prefer a long shaft!

Hey I am cutting edge, I have a laptop & a laser measuring device!

Even twin A has a laptop and laser measuring device and she isn't supposed* to be doing inspections for the VOA for another couple of years

* that's changed because another Government department desperately needs to know something but it's irrelevant to the point above.

** equally being a government department it wouldn't surprise me if the call centre workers have also been given laser measuring devices (and they are fun to play with for 30 seconds once in a while).

Sure you did, gricer. Currently, you're a professional cretin.

How do you explain this then?

I had an earlier career as a landscape/garden designer & often think what a great tool Sketch Up would have been to have had at my disposal back then.

I had a spirit level with a laser on it.

My experience was that I spent most of my time plating with the laser and very little time checking levels.

I had one of those!
My cat thought it was fantastic fun!
