Could lay 15 tons of s&c screed in four hours, i know because i used to be on the wheelbarrow suppling him, now i can cover a fair bit myself ,but i have never seen the like before or after , so yes its great to have seen a legend in the flesh :-D lol........
 
Mate said he knew a couple of blokes that used to do this - one was knicknamed 'bongo'
 
yes there is a couple of guys from south wales that were well known big layers of screed in wales and across the south of england as well, i think they were father & son ,and the Father had a Tin leg he used to take off to lay lol.....
 
i once knew a man that knew a man! but im pretty sure he doent know him anymore
 
Just been told the bloke who used to lay screed my mate once knew did 20 ton plus a day - though he said one pumped it and the other layer it and troweled it with a wood float made from a length of facia board (rounded and a handle put on). Said they made a cracking job.
 
15 ton of screed will lay 97 square meters at 75mm or 3 inches . the average screeder will lay 80 to 100m square per day. to do this in 4 hours he would want a decent area
 
i have layed some big ones myself.

I worked with a bloke years ago who looked like Jimmy Saville .........hows about that then....:RpS_scared:
 
We plastered the penthouse flat out next to Jimmy's in Leeds. Used to see him running round the park on a morning looking as scruffy as a tramp.

Jimmy Saville was a tramp. Hated the bloke! Big headed barsteward with his fat cigars and roller.

I used to lay 15-20 ton of ready mix a day when i was a lot younger, could possibly now do half that but only with a clued up labourer

H'apparently prince Charlie used to give him his cigars (as he didn't smoke) and his roller was always parked up in a dealership on display. He used to drive around in a big fcuk off Merc (last time I saw him he did). But yeah I agree with yer.
