Reminds me of my dad. Always a spade and shovel man. When JCB's came and took a lot of the work Dad would say 6 good paddies could outdig a JCB , then after a pause he would say you would find it hard to find 6 good paddies these days !!

I just saw this four years later and I hope you see this but I have yo ask you if, by any chance you are related to Ron or Ray Nutt. They came from Uttoxetor in Staffordshire. I worked with them with A.E.I Overhead Lines Division in many. parts of England and Wales in the 60's also. I would be so grateful if you can reply. Thank you.
