This is the safest way to load using timber gluts between each layer plus chaining as you load and unload layer by laver, in this pic the single on the top was placed with chocks nailed to the top timber
DigFunny you should mention gluts. When I was on the timber I felt as though I was the only one in the world that knew what they were.
Good one Peterm there’s me thinking gluts was an Os term and it looks like your side of the planet discovered it first.

Hi Spardo, back then a waistcoat was a handy bit of working gear, 2 pockets sometime 4, ■■■■, baccy, pipe matches or lighter, watch on a fob in one pocket, remember my dad wore one regular as did a lot of the manual workforce. Most would be bought secondhand.

Never thought of it that way, the only one I bought was a fashion statement, but I soon got fed up with it because it used to tug my shirt out of my trousers.
Back in the day when I used to tuck it in of course, long gone now.
They’ll be for the high jump if they’re caught with that ladder.
But it could come in handy if they have to go to the high court. 
A couple I took in India in 2010.
Buzzer, Good afternoon,
Good to see the photo of the Thorneycroft Trident. The first lorry I drove was a Trident 215 UTG ex Valley Carriers Penarth. In order for me to drive aged eighteen we had to get it under three tons so it was the usual thing, single wheels on the back, take off the batteries and any thing else to get the weight down and enough fuel to get to the weighbridge and back.
Thanks for posting another photo that brings back memories of days gone by.
Regards, Mr Steel.
DIG this is apparently a fencers rig, looks like he dont want to go back and get anything, seems to have most of what he needs with him, Buzzer

As you say Buzzer got the kitchen sink with him even a forklift. Cant say I have seen anything like that myself but just to add a bit of humour in the fencing industry a station manager a good friend went out to see how his contract fencing team was getting on and was a bit puzzled to see the picket line they were putting in place was a bit wriggly ,when he got to the gentleman who was driving the pickets in he asked him what was the purpose of the wriggly line the fencer when he looked back down his line was as puzzled as the boss anyhow it would appear that when he started that morning he had driven in a sighter picket with his greyish coloured top coat on it as a sighter then gone back about a kilometre to the start point using his coat as a sighter but it would come to light there was some Berolgas a long legged long beak quite tall bird that wandered around the plains area digging for insects but unfortunately on this occasion with plumage a dead match for the fencers coat .
Every time he took a sighter on the shirt/bird he drove in a post and didnt look back until the boss arrived, that has cost him some beers over the years.
I shall send on the fencers road train photo to the manager friend

Good Morning Dig, is that a typo, was it the Fencers Goat or the Fencers coat. 
BEWARE OF CASSOWARYS.

Thanks MRM I bet he felt a bit of a goat, spelling rectified.
Isn’t that bull bar [I say that with misgivings]on the Linfox a horrible mismatch. it would probably handle a large rabbit.
