Murphy is a strong digger neighbourhood; we call him up whenever we need to make a hole in the ground or to post a thick pole in the ground.
There are several kinds of diggers: gravediggers, gold-diggers, trench diggers, well-diggers, and so on, and whatever the name may be, their main job is to dig, except the ‘gold-digger’ because ‘gold-digger’ is more commonly used to refer to someone who tries to marry for the money their spouse brings in!
Most of the digging work these days is done by mechanical diggers which can dig great areas in a short period of time and can save more time and money.
