Take the Bomb Squad and a few shaped charges and your lottie will be sorted in minutes. OK it will be spread over the surrounding fields and the donkey won't be best pleased - but it will be done

Piskie, you poor thing, why does it always rain just after you have spent ages lugging water for the planties!

Feet up now, mug/glass of something nice- well done you! hard days work.
