Russ on the phone this morning "you busy Gra?" on his way to a quicky in Hereford and wanted a hand with a tricky one this afternoon in Pershore ... 40 footer in a tight slot.
yapping on FB msgr whilst he's sat waiting on the truck turning up, which was supposed to be there when he arrived ... wanted me to go to Ross and meet him - drop me motor and both run up in the Lieb .... noon and he's still sat - bouncing up and down in his seat, when he finds said truck is still in Brummy ...... " **** him - I'm off... he can wait on me coming back this afters " ........ in the cab and gone from Ross by 12.30

Flogas dis. site .. fair size ... new leccy machinery cabin ... site induction jobby ... got shortened considerably when I told him I was a BOC agent for about 18 years and sold Flogas's LPG for 14, from a 6 tonne installation .... well aware of the dangers of Propane and Butane ... signed in, surrendered my pockets contents to a draw - fags, lighters, phone, coins ... let me keep me chalk :giggle: and we soon had it in the air, floating in where they wanted it ..... sorted ... then came the inevitable 'can you justs' ...four 2" thick tank lids later and a couple of lengths of big pipe and we're wrapping up for an escape ...

Got home about quarter to five ... probably about the same time as Russ arrived back in Hereford ... truck'd had about the same wait as Russ had this morning ..... will teach the driver to tell porkies about being ten minutes away --- for 3 hrs :mad: ..... if he'd been straight, straight off, we could've gone to Pershore at least 2 hrs earlier -- Russ'd've been back a lot sooner and I wouldn't have had to disappoint a certain little girl, by having to cancel collecting her from school :(:mad: .... make up for it tomorrow;):giggle:

Inductions are a pain. Especially when they boil down to "don't be a twat"
yeh ..... don't be a dead twat in this case ...... one minor IMPORTANT detail the guy left out was that Propane's heavier than air and will sit/lie in a blanket at your feet and can go un-noticed, 'til it goes boom ..... he soon realised he wasn't dealing with Mr Average, when I pointed it out to him :rolleyes::giggle:

always has been I thought and H/brake applied before lifting ....... if you operated 'em like 'the book' says you'd be lucky to move 10 pallets a day
No chapters on handling anything other than pallets, let alone 50ft long UBs into the saw ....... or canal barges :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
