No, not yet Dennis but got my eye on one :wink: It’s surprising how quickly the sharp sand pile disappears; Gill Mill supplies four premix plants, (5 if you count Tuckwells) a bagging plant plus all the other customer deliveries and collections. The plant can do around 200t p/h so it’s a fair size pile at the end of the day.

If the planning goes through, at least 15 years ( I can see the vast majority being recycled aggregate by then).

Yes it is raised a touch Dennis; this is how the weighing sensors work on the ram and rear body hinges.
Callum’s doing well, saying “Daddy” in the small hours etc etc… :smiley:

That was a slow reverse into a site at Raf Brize. Interestingly, a tyre on the 3rd axle that’d only done 2500km started to blister on the sidewall. Both tyres refurd/remoulds.

No that was a lorry loading behind me. Still on the 54reg 6w. Having lunch down in Tetbury at the moment, then across to Kempsford for a load of sand back to Gill Mill. Lovely day for a Cotswold jolly.

Lucky you, all I’ll say is my day is not going well at all so far (no accidents or anything, just a PITA day).
