Me and my mate in uni wanted to try the navvy diet one day.

8000 calories

Breakfast: 6 slices of bacon, 2 pints of beer, can of condensed milk, tea, loaf of bread.

Early elevenses: 1 pint of beer.

Late elevenses: 1 pint of beer, bread and butter.

Lunch: steak, loaf of bread, 2 pints of beer, tea.

Late lunch: 1 pint of beer.

Snack: bread and butter, 1 pint of beer.

Dinner: steak, boiled potatoes, loaf of bread, 2 pints of beer, tea.

But we was going to stop short of the 20 ton of material those guys moved a day. That’s proper grafting what those boys did.

Anyway the fucker (my mate) got a girlfriend and I never seen him again so we didn’t do it.
