Shepton mallet is this place an accident waiting to happen or what.

After you enter the gate a DIY sign …letting you know there,s a bashed in pipe at 15 ft high :open_mouth:

lowered the suspension ,only to be told wrong yard… :blush: :blush:

Then had to reverse into a yard 2 packed with trailers !No room to swing a cat :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Into a corner on the blindside :open_mouth:
just see the headline now , Hgv driver kills factory worker.

This place is a joke. :open_mouth: and don,t start me on the road through Glastonbury …

Yep, Framptons are now proud to be ‘part of the Gregory group’ , busy delivering winners. :grimacing:

To be fair, the last bit coming out of Glastonbury is a bit of a pain. And Pilton is a bit tight too.

There are two business operations, one is Framptons foods, they make smoothies and juicy drinks and is not related to Framptons transport.
The transport sites are the big new warehouse, then Mendip Avenue, Crown industrial estate, one warehouse you can get trapped in, if there are queing lorries.
Anglo industrial estate is Brothers drinks in town.
They are the sons of the Showering family who started Babysham drinks.
The plastic deer is at the cider mill factory.
The road is bad at Pensford on the A37 with the leaning wall.
Nobody gives way to you , when you are going up hill and need to swing out.
