This load isn’t sheeted over the headboard either Dan, Doh!Not sure where it was going either
And in my opinion that’s the best place for the stuff. Although I did once load it an nearly cried as every bucket full went in my new alloy body. Reminds me of the hard spelter we used to load on alcocks, sometimes in drums other times loose like that, only difference the dust and stuff that came off the spelter, used to take it to Abram alloys

You were loaded by magnet at Workington Steve,and they were decent lads,dead gentle eh! We used to tip Pig iron at Midland Roller makers at Crewe and,after you were tipped their crane driver used to skim over the flat and pick up every one last piece of minute iron,a great bloke ! Cheers Dennis.

Yeh dead gentle, I should have sussed it when he asked me if I’d got false teeth 
didn’t do anymore, even though it was a good rate. And roller makers, used to take trebles in there as well from hem Heath,ok unless the stock yard was busy, you could sit there for ever under one of them mobile screens and then the bloke after I’d tipped them giving me a bollocking for using the hose to wash the body out, load white salt from middlewich after for Grimsby, hey it’s not a ■■■■■■ car wash miserable so and so
A shot of a Bewick driver roping a load of baled trimmings from one of the Bowater Rexam plants we delivered reels to from The East Lancs brown mill at Radcliffe,he would have tipped 25 tons of reels and then dropped his empty and picked up the load of bales for return to the Mill,it was very lucrative traffic A to B and back to A 
a bit too enthusiastic netting that load , always keep the back foot on the ground and you don’t go arse over ■■■ if a rope snaps or slips . been there , done that , picked myself up out of a puddle . there’s always a puddle handy when things go wrong .cheers , dave
Or a water-filled ditch on the nearside, Dave!
Oh, how I do not miss that sort of thing.

If you had some decent rope it didn’t happen,anyway,more to the point how long were you in the ditch ROF ? 
Bewick.
About two seconds if it was Winter!
And some hauliers didn’t waste precious profits by spoiling their drivers with new rope.

You have a very low opinion of Hauliers ROF,have you been mistreated in the past or are you just a moaning ■■■■■■ had one or two like that over the years,no matter what you did or how well you treated them they always had a ■■■■■■■ moan about,usually,the smallest irrelevant thing.

You forget that I was once a small haulier myself, Dennis, but I can never pass up the opportunity to take the p*ss.

It’s like water off a ducks back ROF,nowt like a bit of banter with the right lads,only trouble is some take it personal,but I’m not one of those but as you will understand,somebody has got to stand up for the lot of the down trodden haulier/employer Cheers Dennis.
i was always mindful of the pressure on my poor hard done by employers , tried to economise wherever i could . always felt a warm glow inside when the new lexus arrived and i had helped him to afford it , even when his tatty old ropes kept snapping .

Well, to my mind the first one’s got the “envelope” inside out, the second one has got signs of misuse on the flysheet, but the third one looks first-class to me. Mind you, it has got the easiest load on it- bit like a certain ■■■■■■■■ operator.

Nowt wrong with those three loads John only observation I can make (and we did the same occaisionally) was crossing the fly sheet corners over the top instead of underneath 
But they looked liked they knew their job and the sheets were in nice repaired order,I wonder what became of the firm ? Great shots mate,Cheers Dennis.
