Oranges anyone ?

Oops ... I've done something remarkably similar involving a lorry with a tail lift and a tonne of frozen peas aboard a runaway pallet truck. It did make a mess!

We had a driver do the same with a pallet that was part Crusha strawberry milkshake syrup (glass bottles) and part Robinsons squash (plastic bottles but quite brittle) and I think most of the rest was ketchup in glass bottles, and jam... That was nice and sticky...

Apparently a lorry load of onions crashed on the M1 earlier today. Police have advised drivers to find a hard shoulder to cry on.

That scene is just crying out for Norman Wisdom to run across, carrying a tray of priceless bone china....

Some years ago I saw worse that this - sadly I didn't have a camera with me. A lorry coming up the A3 from Portsmouth rolled over on a roundabout and shed about 30 tonnes of oranges. They were everywhere. The roundabout smelt a bit funny for some weeks afterwards...

The roundabout smelt a bit funny for some weeks afterwards...

from the driver's trouser moment?

Chortle! It smelt kind of, well, orangey for about a week, then like festering oranges for some time afterwards. Put me off marmalade for a while.
