Not to fussed about Avonmouth it’s that knob of a banksman at Smethwick who does my head in lol
On of the banksman there was not being very obvious where he wanted me once and i couldn’t hear what he was saying so i jumped out and went over to him and he had a bit of a paddy and said i have to wait behind someone else now. All i needed was a little frag taken off as i was over weight so he soon changed his mind as it was rammed in there and obviously figured it would actually be in his interest to stop getting emotional and get me out.
I always have issues at Wards Ilkeston when getting loaded with soils. All round the country the crane drivers puts their grab where they want you except this guy. You reverse where he has the grab, he beeps a few times and moves it, then beeps a few more times till you get out the cab and he is pointing somewhere know where near where that grab was
