I was supposed to be going to Crediton and Westbury this evening, and right the start it has all changed.
Firstly, there were no vehicles at all and certainly no spare trailers. On top of this I’m going to Bridgwater (where I’m writing this) then to Taw Valley Cheese.
But then I was sent to rescue a vehicle that had a brand new trailer – that had just completely snapped it’s suspension – I see they’re getting quality for the £65,000 these things cost!.
Just to bring it all to a head, and that it serves me right for taking the micky out of others recently – While on the weighbridge at the Wiseman’s Bridgewater dairy, we took a sample from an obscure sample screw valve thing that promptly shot off and went straight down the side of the weighbridge plate!!
While covered in milk with my finger now wedged in the hole, we found a ‘bung’ of sorts and started looking for the sample cap, I spotted it and set about trying to get the access panel up.
At this point I would like to give a firm recommendation to all readers that if, for whatever reason, you feel the need to climb down under a weighbridge at a Dairy – DON’T!
It is the most vile, disgusting environment on the planet!.
I have been trying to wash most of this off, but the smell is killing me.
But one satisfaction I have gained while holding back 28000 ltrs of milk with a my index finger – now I know what it must like to have your fingers in a Dyke!
I am almost a firm believer that quality no longer matters, at least that is my experience, as well you know. My only question is where your finger had been before you plugged the hole?? LOL…
You should be Dutch.
With ref. to sticking my finger in a Dyke – It’s a good job I washed my hands afterwards or that said finger would somewhat ‘cheesy’ now to say the very least…
Just wondering if that is a common side effect from fingering Dykes…
Hmmmm, I shall ponder some more.
Gives a whole new meaning to “giving the finger” thanks for the smile I needed that as I will be spending the day ( 4th of July) hearing how the British were tyrants sigh……..
LOL…..Well TWB, I have absolutely no knowledge or experience with Dykes, so I suppose you will have to ponder this one alone.
As for the cheese finger, I hope it was not aged…LOL
Hey TWB, I thought you’d be used to a bit of manky cheese.
As for fingering a Dyke, probably safer than some of the women you’ve got your pinkies on.
AL, I think you’re verging on the hurtful here – lol
That said, there was a particular time not so long a go, which I remember most vividly – regarding a lady of the opposite persuasion – whom to took a liking to you.
She was an awesome specimen, a lady with a US Marine Corp hair style, more Tattoos than Home Depot had paint to cover in a single run, who was indeed built like the proverbial brick S**t house. In fact she begged you to let her come to your house to ring for taxi…and I mean begged!
I do believe I gave a clear a friendly warning to you at the time that went something like this;
If you let her into your house, you’re in trouble! and you better lay out the ground rules – these mainly consists of the fact that you’ll be screaming by the time she reaches her elbow! And that if you let her continue – she’ll be cleaning HER nails on your vocal chords!
Little Trucker, darn it woman, there goes another fantasy
