Asked to help move a cooker for a friend. Arrive to find 3 others there to help. Look at cooker and it’s a larger range type. No room for 4 persons to move it so look for strongest person to have the other end. Walk the route, spot the dangers, and pick an end to lift. Off we go,get out side & other person does a swap to another.
Deposited the cooker onto a trailer for removal. Before I could say goodbye the van doors open for another range cooker to go back into its place in the kitchen. Grabbed an end again & off we went
I’m sure the twenty year olds who go the gym can’t manage the same rate of work as older people.

My ex s-i-l once asked me to move a range, i.e. an old cast iron kitchen range out of his shed, down the side of the house and onto a trailer.
Just the two of us, and I am no weightlifter! We managed it. (He is built like a brick shed but we still had to manage the weight between us.
As for range cookers, modern ones, well me and my mate carried one out of the garage and up into our box trailer in the UK, took the trailer down to our place in France, along with a ton of other stuff, actually more like 2 and a bit tons! Then unloaded it at the far end. We had a sack truck to help, a bit.
Then once it was in what was to be the kitchen, I unpacked it, with Wifey helping to remove the packaging and put it in place on my own. Tiled floor so it slid fairly easily.
I don't think it is so much a question of strength, more a question of knowing how to lift properly.
When we put the range on my ex s-i-l's trailer we also picked up a yank V8 engine between us and put it on the same trailer. (He was moving house.
) Don't know the size but I think it was a 427.

Which part of your cock did you spatch the chicken with, and what exactly is "Spatching". Don't the RSPCA object? Is it a criminal offense?

Ouch sounds painful!!!!!Which part of your cock did you spatch the chicken with, and what exactly is "Spatching". Don't the RSPCA object? Is it a criminal offense?
If you google "How tio spatchcock a chicken" it'll tell you.
I did it cos we had a small chicken to cook and we hadn't bought one already spatchcocked!
Tis easy! You just need a pair of kitchen shears!

Now that "Home Working" is the new normal I had considered getting my lads to pool resources and buy a farm with space & buildings so we could all live together.
But hey, probably a bad idea. Who knows.
