Song about Diggers

[droopdrawers]

Does anyone know the name of the song about Diggers.

I need it for a friend, who's digger driver husband has passed away.

Thanks DD

the only one that springs tomy mind is hole in the ground by bernard cribbins

The JCB song, there are two versions i know of. One a contemporary one but quite touching is by Nizlopi, the other is by Seamus Moore. I'm sure they will be on you tube to help you decide which suits the purpose.

Droop your tactless, thoughtlessness and complete idiocy extends beyond the bounds of decency. Unless you are knocking off the wife of said ex-digger driver I don't think she'll be impressed somehow.

askyourgran I think it wouldn't hurt you to be a bit more tackful in your reply.

NO WAY am I knocking my dearest friend who's husband passed away suddenly last week. At her and her sons request they are having the song played as we leave the Crematorium next week.
The deceased had a terrific sence of humour and will be laughing his little socks of when its being played.

I was going to try and justify myself to you by explaining just how much I have been helping my friend....but..........why the hell should I.

Thankyou v64paul and Postdog thats exactly what I was looking for. I can see I should have said JCB instead of Digger.

You don't have to justify yourself to me droop, I personally would feel I'd have dropped into someones nightmare, walking out of a funeral to the tune of 'Hole in the ground'. I thought it was a tad insensitive. Obviously his family have a sense of humour too, so I retract my remarks and add my condolences. Good job he wasn't a Fireman.

Askypurgran are you typing from a Jcb at the moment ? You do seem to be digging deeper and deeper.And whats wrong with being a fireman ?

[HarryFindlay]

I think it`s a good thing to put some fun into funeral...scuse the pun

As long as close family are ok with it then why not

[askyourgran]

Teddy boy/Trim - see Postdogs suggestion for the funeral. Considering the family have such a sense of humour? What is your recommendation for a Fireman?

[droopdrawers]

It never was my idea. If anyone looks at the link trimerreurus gave me you will see there is a little lad riding the JCB with his father. aiats exactly what used to happen in my friends case.
Its a good job there are some people with a sence of humour in this world. It helps another wise devasting time to think of their loved ones better times.
