Definitely, but they never stop - it's like a well oiled machine from the guy on the fork lift bringing the full pallets to the front, the men passing them forward, the guys laying them - knowing where the red ones need to go without even thinking, it is an education to watch them.

I had a similair education watching three guys laying a ceramic tile floor in a supermarket, and all in total silence.

I realise that Calis may not suffer from frost heave, but I am nonetheless always impressed by how little movement has occured in, for example, the prom paviors.

Presumably, the fellows who own a pavior business are not short of a shilling.

Love the young lad on the ball sitting learning the craft. I bet he will be in the laying team this year. :)

We have had various tradesmen doing extensions at work, I could watch plasterers, brickies and tilers for hours, they make their job look so easy.
