Does it act like a bacon slicer ?
Can you imagine the difficulty a big artic would have trying to reverse round a bend and then go up and down a hill before being able to turn round .
They could do with that at Connel Bridge near Oban. It is clearly signed as 4.2metres several times before the bridge but lorries still keep getting jammed and closing the bridge for hours. The diversion in my case is only about 80 miles.
As Andy says below a learning effect. One of our drivers took a load of empty casks going to Paisley on a shortcut through the Clyde Tunnel tho' he knew that was not allowed. The police got him threequarters of the way through and made him reverse the whole way back. Being a good patter merchant he got off with a stern warning but he would not do that again.I was thinking about the lorry situation and how council's are stupid in blocking off lanes ! We have another bridge which some lorries mistakenly take . There used to be 2 lanes which a lorry could use to escape , but no the wise council has blocked them both off.

It's been a day of going around the East Midlands;
- Emptied son no. 2's bedroom ready for painting, plus some shopping before heading to Newark where I collected 4 bikes I'd won via eBay.
- Then to Lincoln to visit son no. 1 with his new glasses.
- Then to Scunthorpe for track racing, where I also donated off 3 of the bikes leaving me with the one I originally wanted in the first place (it was a 'buy all 4' auction)
Can you guess which bike I wanted to keep?

That's a bit mean. Making your visitor clean up after you/for you.
It's "lovely" when everything's "lovely"Had a lovely 22 mile ride, got home and had a lovely cup of tea made by the lovely MrsC!
After that had a lovely dinner of fresh Tuna chunks, mixed veg and bulgar wheat and chickpeas.
Lovely
