I was just looking through my photos on Photobucket. The guy giving the fingers has just tried to drive the pallet through the doors without realising it had an extra layer on the pallet :blush:
Bugger, when it happens, everyone hoots and laughs like drains, i ran and got my camera. He felt bad enough, seeing me with the camera was just a tad too much....bless him :biggrin:
 
A few weeks ago there were a few brand new wine barrels (€1400+ each) lying shattered to kindling in the roadside near Barsac, a couple of weeks later Demptos (cooperage) were advertising for a driver...

I know someone who drove a forklift for a freight handling company and he did something similar with a crate of Bushmills whiskey.

Such a waste :cry:

I rolled a ton of frozen peas off the back of a truck once. They went absolutely everywhere.:biggrin:

I know!!!
I used to work in a freezer plant, peas, all sorts of veg used to get stored in 1 tonne pallets. It takes forever to clear them up when a pallet (or two) gets tipped in the coldstore :biggrin:
 
I was watching cars being offloaded off a ship I was working on.

4000 miles at 16 knots. Last 20' was somewhat quicker as it fell off the crane and landed on its roof.

That's good.

Wished someone would have caught the accident that happened with a brand new HGV at my last work.

A driver was delivering the brand new truck to site in South Wales (from Cheshire). It was a £150k tractor unit and a £200k trailer designed for transporting pipes, and had articulated rear wheels.

Driver misjudged a junction (forgetting the way the rear of the trailer worked), and took out a petrol tanker !

It was all hushed up at work ! :wacko:

What was the name of that tory MP who was fond of oranges? You know the one I mean; the one who was so fond of them, he died with a segment in the antipodean aspect of his alimentary canal while dressed in stockings and suspenders?

When I worked at Iceland, a driver once wheeled a pallet of mixed groceries off the tail lift. It was mostly cases of 3 litre bottles of Robinsons squash, many of which burst. Made quite a sticky mess on the car park.
