Hiya i used to do them bales out of Shotton in 79/80 with a 8 legger MAN tipper i always tipped at Templebourough. when we tipped most times the bales would slide down the (ALUMINUM)body then the times one or two bales would sortof try and roll bang bang and all the tail light bulbs had blown.It was a good job I only run about 2 miles out of my way for a good return load.
John.

Hi Andrew,
I had the same problem a while back,I switched to tinypic for a couple of weeks,who ironically are owned by photobucket.
I was like you posting quite a lot of pics at the time and got told the same.
Cheers Dave.
Hiya pete 359 I put a photo of a Micky mouse Foden on the scrapbook site about 2 pages ago.That Foden was in Cypres and you can only just
see the name (Murphy) on the door.Its two tone green with a crane fitted on the back, I would like to know more about that firm.Thanks.
John.
hiya,
3300John could the Mickey Mouse Foden have been the civil engineering Murphyâs, they had quite a large mixed fleet of allsorts and they were two tone green but iâve never been correct so really just a guess.
thanks harry long retired.
