Stavross 13,834 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 If this lad only had a fiver in his pocket, he’d still have more money than sense, I said it needs a lot of building up at the back to get a level and to get one of his lads to bring all the rubble from the top of the site, he must of thought that’s to much like hard work so got 17 dumpy’s of type 1 instead, oh well made my life easier, most expensive concrete pad in the area 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm ok with those - it's the 3rd rail that's the one to look out for, especially if you're working in the dark...... 750v of direct current. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
