From the most uncomfortable benches in Bo'ness...

I watched two council workers both with shovels. One dug a hole. They paused for a moment then the other filled it in. They move on a metre or two and repeated the process One digs a hole, the other fills it in. This went on for several minutes.

I went up to them to ask what on earth they were doing.

"Ah, sir, there are usually three of us but the guy that puts the saplings  in the hole has phoned in sick".
