Can I Be Held In Any Way Responsible For My Big Balls?
As some of you may know I make Atlas Stones, these are the big concrete balls used for worlds strongest man etc.
These Atlas Stone range in weight and size from 15 Kgs up to 210 Kgs. I often have people arrive to collect these stones on the back seat of their car or in the boot totally unrestrained.
