You wouldn’t be trying to wind the Mod up by any chance would you Larry ? 
All the best for 2023 Cheers Dennis.

Yes indeed Lawrence, we’ve removed the off-topic pics and comments.

I’ve done both Italy and Spain (among lots of others) so I’ve had proper professionals try to wind me up. 
The answer as always is to keep calm and have a brew, which I did before moving the off-topic stuff. 
The job’s a good 'un.

BuzzerNorthern Ireland Trailers, a regular load for us on Midlands Storage from Preston. Only problem was that our Pitt trailers only had 40 and 20 foot twistlocks so the 30 foot flats loaded with spuds that we often carried were too far foreward, too far backward for weight distribution or smack in the middle held down by ropes in the twistlock housings. Not good.
I used to opt for foreward or backward myself but a mate of mine had his in the middle. I followed him leaving Preston and, at a left turn the flat broke loose, landed squarely on the road and skidded across demolishing a bollard island. No-one was injured and the load of spuds, sheeted and roped to the flat, not the trailer, remained intact.
All praise to the Irishman who did the R & S.
IIRC in the late 60’s very early 70’s when twist locks were just appearing on trailers there was a firm that advertised in the commercial press that marketed what were called Klemp Klamps for securing ISO containers to trailers without locks. For want of a better description they were similar to “G” clamps but as I never actually came into contact with these clamps maybe someone on TN can confirm their existence all those years ago but I’m sure they were a better method of securing an ISO box than rope and a lot easier than messing with chains and dwangs Cheers Bewick.

I vaguely remember them, of their existence, but never saw one. Better yes but I would like to know if anyone found them safe.
Obviously no one else remembers them either “Spardo” so it must be an hallucination on my part eh ! Doh ! Cheers Bewick.
I remember the adverts - but don’t remember seeing them used in anger.
