Obviously a veteran and highly trained parcelman, the fragile stuff is under everything else. 
Nice to see the standards being upheld.

How heavy’s them pallets mate?
The whole 20 pallet load is only about 2.5 ton, all empty cans
Guinness at Runcorn fill cans for a few firms and not just there own.
Where are the cans actually made? I’m expecting to see some kind of smelting plant. These ones in the pictures look like they’re grown on bushes, or assembled in battery farms with some orientals doing all the small work.
In a world where all ■■■■-ups are possible at some point, I’ve never heard of a wrong drink being sent out in the wrong can… Crack open a Guiness and get some iced tea instead…
Is there actually any manufacturing in this country nowdays? Down south, business is about handling someone else’s goods made abroad - not making anything in itself. I’ve not seen a working factory since I was a kid!
All made in Wrexham at Ball Packaging, there used to be plenty of ■■■■ ups for sale in the shop at bulmers in Hereford, litre bottles of Stella with Heineken caps on them all good thou as they were knockin em out at a quid each, best buy in that shop was Strongbow Super at 6 quid for 24 cans the only problem with them was your head the next day a quality drink me thinks.
And for all those out there who bang on about Guinness and nothing like a true Irish drink its all a load of crap, if you drink it in the UK or anywhere else in the world its 90% Cheshire water as it comes in concentrated from Ireland, Runcorn cans it for the whole world apart from Ireland where they do there own

Its all down to the build quality of a Stralis i’m sure.If that’s the case the driver would have been F ucked Up Beyond All Recognition, or FUBAR’d for short
See all them rusty baked bean tins that get weighed in for scrap, and you think to yourself ‘What possible use could that rusty metal be in another life’? Well the answer is, Iveco make wiring looms out of it
They only make the wiring looms from old bean tins■■? Thats surprised me cos I thought the chasis and cab were made from them too. That said, i still like Stralis’s. One of my favorite trucks. 
Just keep rolling along
This morning Benderloch , just north of Oban I have not been in that area for ages
my picture taken when on break does not do it justice every few minutes I was saying ■■■■ I wish I could take a picture now it was stunning
Can it be moving image?
And if the movie is too long - one pic that says it all:

Just after loading an AA gun onto one of the M668’s on Wilson’s trailer.
I use to drive them in my army days, they was part of 50 missile regt ra ,or reserve
Where was they going by the way, hopefully not the gas axe
No they were off to Germany, a German Professor had bought the pair of them and also had the Flak gun being stored at the museum. He currently has about 10 guns and 6 vehicles and is hoping to get set up as a museum so he can get stuff direct from the German military. The front M688 was a runner and they’d used it to pull the non runner on board. The runner was coming off first in Germany 
and the dead one reloaded and taken elsewhere to be repaired.
Yours truly on muckaway, being loading in Botley, Oxford on sewer/flood works.
