Well,I had to leave my Mandator at Swansea with a u/s compressor so log booked it home to Sheffield one Friday night.It worked out quicker than using train,took 6 hours with 8 lifts. We got paid a min of 5 hours for Saturday plus train fare including going back on Monday to pick wagon up,but one of ours was going to Gorseinon so dropped me at C V Sales.
