They take up a few inches of floor space though. Fine for standard loads/ pallets, but something slightly oversize....Luckily, they move

That's the driver's problem. I loaded a 12' set of discs in to a 7.5T curtainsider on Tuesday - the driver thought he was just collecting a box with some spare discs in!

This really irritates me - idiots that plough through a soft grassy verge because they won't stop in the gravel gateways that lie immediately before and after their position. What a mess.

that would annoy me too.as do all the lorry drivers who deliver to us and run over the grass beside the driveway.and cars who do a three point turn over lawns because they are too idle to drive another 25 yard to the yard or who cant be boithered to open a gate

Sustained wind speed of 60 mph and Mum decides to go for a drive in her car at the height of the storm because she was fed up of being indoors. WTF?
It wasn't fit to be outside even if you had to.

I've seen a Sierra like that, should have had low mileage 1.8CVH, not a clapped out 1.6 Pinto
I part exchanged a late Ford Escort estate a few years ago for a Subaru Legacy at one of those general car sales places. The bloke just looked at it through the window of the sales office and gave me a good enough price for me not to haggle.
It was only when I went to swop them on the day that he turned round and said that he thought that the Escort was a 1600 not the 1400 it actually was. He held his hands up to it being his mistake and the deal stood, he'd been taken in with the 16V badge on the back and hadn't bothered to take a closer look.
That Subaru was one of the best motors I've ever owned, didn't lose too much on it when I sold it three years later after putting another 60K+ miles on it as well

Checking gently through the field with the nearly due sheep, a friend joined me (which meant the sheep walked away ) and I suddenly heard a lamb bleating. I am looking wildly round the field, and then went over to count the sheep again and check back ends, and I heard it again. No white blobs in the field and no red blobs on back end of ewes so I was a wee bit puzzled. I went over to where the sound was coming from and asked friend if she could hear a lamb.
Oh, thats my phone she said.

25 years ago I qualified as a chartered engineer. For the last 12 years I have been farming full time. The institute kept on writing to me saying I should now be doing CPD, (and the courses don't come cheap) setting training frameworks, competence assessments and recording it all online. Well, I have to do plenty of CPD for agriculture and I just don't have the time money and quite frankly the inclination to wade through all that baloney for my engineering status. Apparently I am going to be investigated and could be the subject of disciplinary proceedings. So it looks like it's goodbye chartered status. It was always just a label anyway, that meant paying about £250 per annum to receive a few industry mags a year. Nobody really cared about it when I applied for jobs as you are only as good as your last job in reality, especially amongst the gritty northern engineering fraternity.
I wonder how many other members and subs they will lose over this petty scheme?
Rant over. It's been a week for it.
