Hi 👋

Welcome!
Don’t hold your breath - I’ve been here from the start and still know almost nothing about diggers!

As I tell the blokes I work with

Some days I pretend I know what I'm doing

Unfortunately today is not one of those days

Welcome, Sherlock. What’s the interest? Potential owner? Operator? Mind you, if you don’t know much about diggers you could be the new parts man at Watling JCB.
everybody has to start somewhere.

Yeah, but not at parts manger level. Maybe workshop skivvy until you know a hydraulic filter from a pough bolt.

It's worse when you start getting to salesman level.

I started in the trade green in 2007 . Had zero experience and was a sales guy for watling jcb.. I have also just taken in a sales guy myself to help find kit etc and hes green too. Have to let young blood and fresh blood into the industry .

A pough bolt? Is that a Welsh thing? For holding mangers together?

by the way, what happened to Sherlock?

I thought he’d mis-spelled Pugh. I know he’s not Welsh, wondered if you’d contaminated him. He is on here a lot.

Oh it's far worse than that Bri :giggle: ...... Ruben and the delightful Mrs Doobin have broken bread at Chez Druid on a couple of occasions with Pam and I :cool: ....
think they like Druidland ;) .....
we didn't 'expose' them to any Welsh cakes though 😂 .. none in stock at the time ...... but Pam's baking is always a winner with visitors ..... (y)

funny story on their last visit .... we're all sat in the kitchen scoffing, yapping and Ruben'd got his - bugger can't recall the name of the instrument ... cross between a banjo and a guitar - it'll come to me -- out .... when this bloody rat appeared from under a kitchen cabinet/unit :oops::oops:... couldn't believe it o_O... Ruben jumped up in a flash and is pursuing the bloody thing round the kitchen floor with the first thing that came to hand -- a S/steel egg slice :ROFLMAO:... I wish I 'd had a camera .......:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
I then spent the next two days securing/covering/filling/blocking every opening in the kitchen, under/behind the damned units .... (you know what kitchen fitters are like for leaving gaps) ...... bar one ... the little barsteward was going to have to re-appear from there ....... and I had the sod about three days after that - stamped on his head, when he foolishly stuck it out at the wrong moment ... could not ****ing believe this thing appearing, that day, calm as you like :oops:o_O:mad:🤬 .......... was bloody funny though 😂😂🤣
