roping and sheeting

How they do it on other continents. The title is ‘Great Skills’, I think it would be better to say ‘the content of this video may offend some people’. :laughing: :laughing:

Me too. :laughing:

BTW did you see the first comment below the vid, the one made just before I posted the link? :wink:

The trailer was supposed to be 20 metres and normally on machinery movements, so perhaps I could have cut him, and his missus, some slack. Oh, he had plenty of that already though. :laughing:

It was like watching a Benny Hill comedy :wink: What a F---- mess but I reckon his wife was a better hand than the Driver, she seemed to have more about her but all in all what a shambles so I’m off into the wood to cut 'me throat ! :wink:

I agree with you Dennis, Take me drunk, I`m home. Cheers, Ray.

Well I sheeted and roped lots of wagons and trailers, And I did it the way I was showed in the 50s, Now I know a lot of you dont agree with it , But what you see is what you get, And :blush: if you dont like what you see, Tuff Tittie, I never ever once had a wet load or a insecure load, So I must be one of the lucky ones in my aging years, Along with my old pal Jimmy Blackburn whom I worked with 60 years ago at Smiles for Miles.

Hiya,
He might be wearing the union flag on his person but his r & s
qualities certainly aren’t up to our standards and no doubt he
will quickly be tipped most likely at the first roundabout or a
sharp bend he encounters whichever comes first.

Shots of the cake at the 50th Birthday party( and the man himself) of a top Bewick driver, Duncan McMinn, in the very early 80’s at The ■■■■ & Dolphin in Kendal ! The sentiment was well meant but the content left a bit to be desired but it was a great night all the same ! Cheers Bewick

Hi Dennis, Its all a long time ago, And how things have changed over the years, But I enjoyed the old days starting in the 50s and working hard to make good money, And having some good mates who sadley a lot of them have passed away, So I will toast your good health to you and your good lady with a very large Glenmornangie, , Larry & The Dunbar Family.
