Do they have a 'who nicked our effin lampost' look on their faces?

Another van's arrived. There's five of them standing around it now. They all look perplexed.

probably trying to figure out if its time for a fag/coffee/toilet break

I once tried to pull the stump of a huge rosebush out of my garden using a car with 140BHP.

The rose bush won.

Doubt it.

These are the fellas who were digging a hole in front of my house the other day. They kindly blocked my drive with their van.

As far as I can make out, they've just dug a hole and left it.

Can they see you watching? If so give them a wave.

They're back again.

There's three of them standing around the stump looking confused.

So, a couple of weeks ago several workmen arrived to remove a lamp post in the office car park. They couldn't dig it out of the ground, but managed to cut it down with an angle grinder (which I should add was plugged into a socket that they'd wired directly into the lamp) and left a stump about a metre high which they expertly sealed off with a carrier bag and a zip tie.

Today another motley crew arrives to make a second attempt at removing it. After spending about 5 seconds digging down to try and remove it, they decide upon an alternative plan. One of them gets in their van and begins reversing into it, hoping the towbar of the van will knock it over. After approximately 20 attempts, the towbar didn't seem to be pointing in the same direction as it was before they started.

They then seem to have got bored and buggered off.

Looking forward to instalment 3 next time they're back....
