Who cares 😅 

You, clearly — you read the thread, clicked reply, and typed those two little words with your bottom lip quivering.

I'd be interested, knowing not much about stump grinding. Or banana picking.

I started in the woods at 9 years old. We used to grind stumps by hand back then, with a mattock and bar. A bag of rice, a tin can and a box of matches, that's what the old man would give us to live on for three weeks while we felled a hundred ton each - minimum, and ground the stumps. The hardest of work, lads.. But it was honest work.

A mattock? Luxury! We had to grind the stumps out with the teaspoon we had for the sugar in our tea, except we had stump chippings instead of sugar!
