        Use the principles of Archimedes. (Well, that's what I have to do.) :)

        It'll make a fabulous feature in the garden

            No, helping out at Sis's place. Uncovering a lot of rubble that will be useful in the field though, for building up access tracks :)

                We found one exactly like that in our hedge a few years back. Farmer described it as a 'pig trough' since it had no drainage hole in it. Had great fun moving it to where we wanted to put it too.

                  You don't need that stone trough, Zigs. You can post it to me. I'll take it off your hands. :)

                        :ideaIPB: Stick the stone trough on top of the cast iron post, call it a piece of modern art, give it a pretentious title, like 'pole position' or something equally silly and then just wait for some wealthy idiot to offer you a fortune for it. :dbgrtmb:
