We have moved 80k cu about 150k ton of muck and rock. The 2 30ton trucks have done nearly 5400 loads between them..the last 16 weeks.. the first lad who was on the 50ton 360 Told me he had been operating 360's for 30yrs. He finished a couple of weeks before Xmas.. We have been taking a ramp out in a quarry that went upto the 2nd bench in height and maybe 300yds long from the quarry floor..

If I see someone is going about something in a dangerous manner I will speak up straight away mate..common sence ain't that common.. One of the worst things happening at the moment is on hs2 a big firm are giving out free plant tickets to anyone who applies..they have a little training and bang here's your ticket.. And they wonder why there's so many accidents happening..the industry is being flooded with operators who shouldn't be operating..zero experience around machines.. The best ops are ones who have a genuine interest in operating plant.if you haven't got an Interest you

I think H&S is a good thing mate..especially if you stick to the book it can drag the job out amd slow the job down..= more work for the lads..+ zero accident and everyone going home every night.. Don't give them an excuse..cos by feck the safety bods or managers love to open there mouths.. Its nice to hear them rambling on how to do things..then there faces when you say it can't be done like that lol...

Often find fox's amongst the cows or sheep..when you flick the lamp on the smaller eyes give them away..maybe the shooter seen a small set of eyes and automatically thought fox..but sadly it was human eyes he was seeing..

You could even replace the word "god" with the word "sun" As its the sun that powers the whole growth on the earth..

They well might have mate.. There was a small opencast above the village. When they reinstated the land there was tankers arriving with human waste which was mixed with topsoil and spread over the land..it was the greenest grass I've ever seen very dark green. So yea I think you might be spot on.

Seen a guy on TV think it was on a hugh fernley whittingstall program. His ground was mainly clay so he was planting some type of plant that grew well and deep into the clay and then simply cut the plant down and left the roots to rot down hes done it for a good number of years and the once clay ground is getting better and better each year.. quite a clever idea I thought..

He's not daft mate..its surprising how much moisture they can soak up from the slop..just throw a handful infront every few steps

Infact does a shit upbringing bring out the best in people who as a result have a bigger desire to achieve in life rather than be handed it on a plate.. Just look at the best boxers of all time..most had a bad poverty stricken upbringing.

Living the dream mate living down there mate..cant beat being near the coast i love mountains but the ciast just seems alive with the movement of the sea..I don't know why but I have allways felt a pulling effect from the sea its a weird feeling its almost like I am a reincarnated sailor or something lol..sounds daft but it's hard to explain..my surname originated from Cornwall after I done some research so maybe my ancestors were indeed sailors I don't know..I could literally sit there for hrs upon hrs just staring out to see..its a special place..

It's a man's sea in Devon and a child's sea in Cornwall mate lol..local knowledge is literally a life saver in such Seas mate..a beautiful place and a lethal place all in 1...most only see the calm of summer..whilst other times of the year is no doubt totally different...
