I just treated myself to a dash-cam for my impending birthday.

A wise investment I think, considering I seem to spend most of my working day surrounded by these Fernwood clowns.

Stay tuned for some shocking footage… :open_mouth:

That big mahoosive mountain of gypsum of theirs isn’t going unnoticed.

Do you think the company will survive once the available space is all taken up?

That’s Mount Watnall :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Gypsum rock or board ?

Gypsum, as in the by-product from Ratcliffe and Drax power station, thay obviously haven’t found a big enough market for it, and so will be stored their at the tax payers expense, just like any other “green” initiative!!

It’s not at tax payers expense I work for British gypsum at Sherburn and they have a contract to pay for the DSG if they take it from draw or not that’s why they is also a stock pile at Gascoigne wood next to where the big tyre fire was recently

I heard they were going to use it for the next winter olympics :laughing: :laughing: in case theres no snow

I had my first experience of a fernwood driver last Friday… Flew past me as if I was standing still - that said I was in one of our Rugby units so speed wasn’t available. That said I wouldn’t of kept up with him in my old daf. He didn’t deviate from his straight course and gave me plenty of room.

You need to ask a few more questions & interpret the answers in a slightly more cynical way, to ever have a hope of arriving at the truth.

These mountains of gypsum that exist for all to see & enjoy shouldn’t actually be there, should they?
