I call him Dave. Groin Drain Dave.

Came on Saturday to rake and edge my lawn, deweed the edges and put some weed killer on my patio. While I sat inside and played Pro Evo.
The gardener who did our front garden (plus a few bits in the back including levelling some ground which many others told us would be a tough job) is in his 80s too.

He's an Irish lad who is half deaf who works incredibly hard. He says he still works because people would think he's an alcoholic if he's in the pub too early.
