I remember that Miss Judy Birmingham (Uni of Sydney) was very particular
about the trowels we used, they had to have 'spring' in them. The only ones
I've been able to get like that these days are expensive Italian imports.

How about those show-offs that worked with trowels worn down to the size of
a table spoon? (oops, I've got one).
