Pic of the day

Well someone didn’t think about the centre of balance did they???

I assume that's the first mid engined car they've ever had in there , they're used to the weight being at the front in the US

I showed it to a mate , in the 80s he was a crane mechanic , he wasn't there but they got the job to remove machinery from a factory , one of those old buildings with a zig zag roof

they had a 10 tonne forklift to get the machines outside then a crane to lift them onto the truck.

As the driver was taking this huge forklift in he turned and caught a post , which fell over , a section of the roof fell in which started a very slow chain reaction, in 30 seconds the whole factory was down , luckily nobody in it
He rang the boss
Er ,are we insured
Of course we're insured , why, you've not damaged the crane have you
No no
What then, have you hit somebody's car
No no it's worse than that
What then spit it out
We've er demolished the whole factory

He wasn't happy.

They had one driver who was sent out to demolish a double garage , saturday morning , job and finish

He got there about 15 minutes early , this guy comes out and says I want to set my camera up to record a timelapse of the demolition

He goes in the house , comes out 10 minutes later with his camera all set up on the tripod just as jim the driver is putting the machine back on the trailer, all flattened ,stands there with his mouth open

Weston super Mare my old home town last night.

I picked up a Seat V5 Toledo from there a few months back, it was a lovely town. Popped down to the coast for some lunch before I drove back to London. People were very friendly and chatty which made a nice change to central London.

Yarp, everywhere in Somerset is friendly. The Ms lived in Wells when we started going out, can’t understand a word any of them are saying but they are chatty.

As somebody who's delivered stuff all round the UK over the last 30 years , everybody everywhere is chatty apart from London , in the north east you get tea and sandwiches if you're there for more than 5 minutes

Not my experience. I consider London to be my home (despite not living there for 20 years) and while I accept that there is a reluctance to engage in chit chat in London, that's probably because we have all have jobs and homes to get back to

In all seriousness though, the rudest people I have ever encountered have been in the North East. I used to work in Newcastle on a regular basis and it remains to this day the only place where I have been both physically and verbally assualted without provocation. And that's not including the cnut who spat at me in broad daylight when I was crossing the road.

Never ever had that in London.

Horses for courses.
I got called a Northern monkey by some guy in London, trying to show off in front of 2 girls, he had one on each arm...
When I laughed it wound him up...and the situation deteriorated from there.....
