Used to annoy me when you’d turn up for a muckshift where they wanted it cleared quickly yet were happy to load with Dinky Toys like this Case…at the end of the day the customer just has to ask “can you come back? We need it all gone…”
Usually the customer had a bigger machine on site doing something like loading little dumpers, yet it never occured to them to switch machines. ![]()


Saw this D8 today, couldn’t decide if it was being restored, stripped or just decaying. Judging by the rest of the place, probably decaying.

Had to pick this up on Friday.

Does that plant blend the shingle or is it one size? Big mistake of Smiths when Gill Mill was built to not fit blender belts. Means some shovel driver has to mix 4-20 and 2-10 with the bucket ![]()
