Leakeyvale Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Reminds me of a chap with a 40' low-loader who stopped me in the village one morning and asked where Little Goddards was. I pointed up the lane to his left and told him it was up there about 1/4 mile but he would never make it as it is even less wide and very bendy farther up. The lane is less than 8 feet in places with no verge and high, very stoney, banks. Sensible chap parked up, unloaded the dump truck and digger he was supposed to deliver and drove them up one at a time. Now you would think the owners of the place would have told the company beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you would think the owners of the place would have told the company beforehand. I do the same job for a living and you'll be suprised how many people hire large diggers etc and don't even consider what size vehicle will deliver it : One job springs to mind where a guy hired a 21ton digger to dig a pond in his garden. He had a large house with lots of ground up a dead end lane from a small village. On arrival at the lane I phoned the guy who said he'd had lot's of large lorries up there so i'd have no problem So of I go 1/2 a mile up a lane 8ft wide with right angle bends and lined with trees and hedgerows Driving a truck 55ft long weighing approx 50tons with the digger on the back 10ft 6 wide : : When I got to the house with a trail of destruction behind me he admitted he'd never seen a lorry as big as mine and the ones that had been up were 4 wheelers deliving parcels ??? ??? When it came to paying the bill he tried to hold back money for repairs to the lane : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it came to paying the bill he tried to hold back money for repairs to the lane : Hardly surprising - some people really do not think and then blame everyone else. I bet the Parish Council/Highways Authority/neighbours had a go at him over the damage. I walk that lane around our village and know that if i meet the oil tanker (companies always send the small ones) I usually have to backtrack so he can get through because there is not enough space for me to even squeeze past him. A skip carrier just about makes it and they are local guys who know the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Had to take the lounge patio window curtains down to fix the pull cord. Found one curtain had a stain that looked like coffe had been thrown at it so decided to wash them. Just rehung the first curtain. Bl**dy things have shrunk by more than 6 inches!
