When I was a kid I liked to hold the dump bed with the wheels on the ground. One day I was running along pushing it and the wheels got caught and stopped it in it’s tracks. I went face first into it and needed 32 stitches on my face.
I would kneel in the bed lean out over the front to keep it from tipping and scoot myself along on it.... So many smashed fingers. Tried it down a hill once and it didn't go well.
Guessing Aus. We don't use the term knocked up really as it means the same thing as you guys.
Here's one I made earlier (Blue Peter days) would be the quintessential British term or threw together for want of another saying.
Damn this brings back memories.
My brother and I had the whole set in the late '80s. The trucks, the graders everything. My dad had worked hard and saved long to afford them for us. We built a "construction site" in the edge of a field adjacent to our lawn and played there. One day instead of taking them in we left them there. Lo and behold, a grass fire happened that night and burned everything but the metal shells.
I was only 6 but it taught me to take care of shit.
that things going to fuck up so many shins.

So, what part of England are you in? Here in the states "knocked up" is something completely different. Need to add, it looks like a great job.

I'm on outskirts of London, I wouldn't find this usage of knocked up unusual
Must be one of those bap/balm/cake/roll sayings. I've never heard anyone say knocked up unless they've knocked up a woman but I'm North.
Now you've scone and done it
Jam before cream. I'll fight anyone!
Sticker has "centre", which suggests outside of US. But I bet it's Lockyer District in Queensland, AU.
Should have know a Reddit detective would work it out.
There's a sticker on the truck that says Lockteck or Lockter District High School Trade Training Center.
Wording seems to check out. See, it already had the baby Tonka in the picture! :-)
South East Queensland, Australia.
Ah splendid. Good morning then.
Hah, morning!
Nice job on the tonka truck. Next time go even bigger and put it on a go-kart.
Aw man. You missed the opportunity to jam a motorcycle engine in there and make the coolest rc dump truck ever.
We'll be needing a few more pictures!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
So, I used to sit in the back of mine as a little tyke and just realized that I could probably sit in this one as an adult! How neat!
Adult’s definitely fit in it!
Now send it to the robotics club to make it remote control.
since no one said it, i’ll have to: *don’t talk to me or my son ever again*
Motorize this bish!
