# that is ace.
On a related note, the pitch fork in that painting has always bugged me.

The tines look far too flimsy to be of any use. Surely the first load of hay hefted with that fork would cause bending and/or possibly breaking in the tine area.

# you'd better tuck that back in
it might offend.

Having utilised such a farming utensil myself as a kid, I can assure you that loose hay presents no kind of problem. It's when the stuff you are shifting is caked in horse and cow shit that they start to get bent out of shape.

# how heavy do you think hay is?

# well I'd say
100Kg or hay is just about as heavy as 100Kg of lead.

That's not a hay-type fork, it's for spiking froggies. So the tines'd be perfect for that. In fact, said fork inspired a Lindisfarne song. Can you guess?
