I will work for anyone as long as they are straight and the cat is a bit fussy , so thats a no from us

There wouldn't be enough noise and fire involved for the cat to feel comfortable.

Today was a sad day for heavy industry, after over 116 years of production the final casting was cast today

THE END OF AN ERA

That video is going to be an historical record. It's worth uploading to your local history website.
Include lots of information, fascinating.

Sad day, all the best for you and your mates in the future.

Thanks for taking the time to capture this, and post it, Pete. As said, a great historical record.

But as much as I have enjoyed all your posts, it just doesn't feel right to 'like' the above post, I hope you understand.

So sad to see this kind of industry come to an end

[Landyman]

The lads applaud the last ever job

My husband is a safe engineer and amongst his collection we have a few SLS safes (Security Lock and Safe) that were made in Telford. SLS at one time was part of the Mather and Platt Group until they were taken over by SMP many years ago and hubby says they were some of the best safes ever made.

Just a bit of useless information for you.

Sad day for you.

Getting the foundry cat ready for the big move to his new home in scotland

Feed him up, wait till he falls asleep then grab him ( in theory it works a treat, in practice i think blood will be spilt )
Either way, he has 2 more clockins

 

[Philip Watkins]

Good luck on the blood letting. Hope you don't lose too much and watch out for cat scratch fever after.

Chuck a BIG THICK towel over him while he's asleep then pounce on it.

Trick a vet showed me years ago

You need to be lighter on your feet when you creep upon him

He'll know something is up when you turn up with a cage.
