Quote of the day from a rep to my mate who’s looking for a new 13ton.. ‘yeah we have two demo machines, 9/10 folks buy one after a demo we(the dealer) gets pretty pissy if you don’t buy after a demo so I wouldn’t bother having one if your not going to buy it’ 
only wanting to spend 100k you know!

Little bit annoyed that we couldn’t make it into #hillhead today due to piss poor traffic management. Had to turn around after being stuck nearly 4 mile away with not much movement for nearly 2 hr. Better management is needed with ensuring that those that take the time out to visit can...

I got there and pulled straight into the entrance, zero queing on main road and didn’t physically stop going up the hill into the quarry!
Got there just before 8 , by time we got the bus down we stood around for 45mins ish, no bother

It does seem bizarre that they can’t get this bit right. We queued for half an hour to get in yesterday, but there was no obvious reason for the bottleneck (there were some local temporary lights but the problem was getting off the road into the site).
