Manual labour

Unloading a lorry of delicate lab equipment? Don't bother with cranes, just get a lot of blokes to bunch together and then find some carriers to use their heads, so to speak.








I thought they should have done the same when replacing an incinerator through a gate that was too narrow, but lo and behold they made it with the fork lift (and a gang to unload it).

At the new Lilongwe airport boarding gate, an electric air conditioner was making an awful squealing noise that filled the room and was pretty intolerable. (I had 2h to wait.) Two guys came to fix it, armed with a couple of twigs. Turns out it was a camera-shy insect about the size of bumble bee.
