Hi M8, Oscar is Roger s (Mr Cargo) bugie, not parott, its my memoryā€¦or age!..it was one of these famous stories he told at the christmas party, when he said Oscar goes for a ride in the truck with himā€¦bit like farthers collection of boooottts, no no no not sailing boooooottts, work boots!

another belgian mate fell out with the ā€œelf in a safe tree manā€ in swansea again last week.this time the trailer only had four pallets around 100kg each! two on the bed and two on top,up front over the pin.this time safety man declared it was too dangerous to lift the top two out of the side of the trailer,demanding it be sent back to liege and put near the back doors.you know what happened next :wink: after i took the photo,he tipped and was on his way.belgium 1,u.k. health and safety nil :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
