Well I've never done it for money ("it" being navvying in case you were wondering) but in the course of renovating four houses I've laid paving slabs, dug a pond, carted bricks, shovelled sand and gravel and removed more rubble to the tip than I care to think about. Does that count? And still never heard the full expression! Mind you most of that work was well south of Accy so you might be right about the local nature of the last bit.
