Bloody heavy I know that. Don't fancy getting it downstairs in one piece.

Two people can manage - normal people as well, they don't need to be
thick necked rugby types. If you can get three and a hefty lump of
rope all the better.

Please note - for normal types it is exhausting. You will not believe
how much you sweat for such a seemingly small amount of work. Also
plan and measure the route downstairs. Otherwise you'll get stuck
half-way, not be able to go back up, both start shaking like Elvis,
make a stupid comment about the fact that your helper looks like a dog
trying to **** razor blades, he will have a giggling fit and drop the
thing, taking huge chunks out of the plaster and nearly breaking your
toes. It will then take you a further half hour to extract the now
wedged bath from it's precarious resting place without causing further
damage or hernias.

Well that's one possibility that I've plucked out of thin air and
didn't actually happen of course, oh no sir not me...
