Deere-est Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 You should have seen the groundworks for the new B&***** at Cribbs Causway FB before they got the steelwork up. I don't ever understand how there can be so many excavator booms swinging around without ever clouting eachother. All I saw was 360's, JCB 3CX's and dumpers on the UK's longest contra-flow on the M5 south from j18 - j19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I had Portbury - Avonmouth x5. Its daft, 1hr to drive up there, 1 hour to drive back leaving 9 hours to do 5 loads. They only take an hour and a quarter each!! Tell a lie, they are lifting tatties near me, the only field for miles around. Not sure of the machinery as I always see them between 6 and 6.30am when it's dark. They just do a few runs each morning. There is 6640 there but the rest goes back to the farm wherever it is. Must be renting the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
