Come off it RT, we already know you're as old as I am and I remember - in fact I have a leaf or 2.
As for how many people does it take to insert a leaf - that depends on how they're stored. Mine is upstairs in the back of a wardrobe - so I struggle to bring it downstairs on my own and fight with it to get it to line up with the pegs. With two pairs of hands its easy-peasy.
With another table, you just slide the outside 2 pieces apart and the leaf is stored underneath and fits in easily.
By now, Jules, you should have done it

VC the last time I put a leaf into a table I trapped my fingers so that table didn't last long.

Come from a different part of the world was always an extending table or a fold down / drop table...

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevenin' Peeps. Just spent a happy couple of hours wandering round a pretty garden. (I had CAAAAAAAAAAAAKE too, but don't tell, coz I'm not supposed to! )

My dining table has two leaves. I leaves 'em out, coz they bite - bit like Arkwright's Till!

Evening gang!!!
I'm feeling very virtuous I've had a weekend stuffed full of gardening, and I've loved every bit of it
Saturday morning was spent at the lottie - did tonnes of stuff.
Saturday afternoon I planted up my hanging baskets and window boxes for home.
This morning I mowed 2 lawns and pottered in the garden at the old house.
This evening I planted out some Runner Beans and watered everything, coz the wind has dried everything out so badly.
I'm pooped now, but happy

Ahhhh! I had one of those tables as a child but it was always extended! I knew it could go smaller (from making clubhouses under it) but never knew it had a special name

evening peeps,what a corker of a day again,there are varients of leaves in tables,we still got the DH parents table from years ago,the leaves pull out from both sides,you can use either side or both,the old one i have inn my sewing room has a large drop down leaves,with little draw and cupbourd both ends,ideal for little things to hand,also remember the circular drop leaf of yesteryear,
I now have a picture of our great granddaughter,she lovely,they are apparently still in hospital as baby is a little jaundest,

Morning everyone, seems like the crack of stupid is the only time I have to pop in
Spent all weekend at the plot planting peas , I have more than Birdseye !!!!!!

[bubblewrap]

Moaning folks.
I wish it would stay warm for a few weeks as my veg plants are growing a bit on the slow side.
I think stuff is about 3-4 weeks behind...Eg runner beans are only about 6" tall.
