A WW2 UXB was found in a garden down ere yesdi. They dug it out, carted it off (to the beach, i think) an blowed it up. Weren't arf a bang..

Morning All. :D Today's mission is to roll up a smelly old mattress at the old gals house and chuck it out. I am advised that rubber gauntlets may be required as it's a bit crusty and fragrant. I shall be armed with some ratchet straps and some...
