Sweat!, I used to sub into an old boy who told folk, "Egg's sweat was worth more than gold"

 

Good old boy, wish he'd never retired.

He was a good old boy, he used to say "we are here to do the job, not kill ourselfs", typical ol' Suffolk boy. He gave me my first start when I came around these parts. He knew nothing about drainage and winged it with an old bowser behind a tractor, he ended up with 15 tankers running 24/7.
