He who chops his own wood gets warm twice? not this one!
A local retailer who is developing into a bit of an identity round the place added to the legend recently. He went home from the shop one recent Friday to pick up a load of firewood for his daughter. Upon arriving home he found his wife had locked him out of the house which wouldn't have been a problem had he not been wearing his good clothes. "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today by putting off your clothes," could be the new adage - our man found his gumboots, stripped down to his underwear and collected the wood in his undies and gummies! (any splinters in the timber?)
