During the snowy weather I couldnt do any gardening really and to stop myself sitting and eating I went a wandering hither and thither around the village.
Found myself on the safety track beside the guided busway which was great, snow and ice free for the most part. I was looking at a nice flock of goldfinches when I first heard the unmistakable sound of reversing forklifts at Chivers. Yes the jamworks, well jam and all sorts really.
Anyway there was one forklift and then another and then another and as I was in bord mode I started to have these daft thoughts, was I listening to a pair of forklifts a breeding pair perhaps, having got that far a memory came flooding back.
I worked for the UK arm of a german company that made specialist vehicles once upon a time, in the UK it was streetsweepers. A senior manager left and set up his own company making yes youve guessed it streetsweepers. Well the banter started and before you knew it a cartoon was circulating, it showed one of our sweepers mounting one of there's with the wording "******* always on top" shame I darnt use the company name think its lost something but you get the drift hopefully.
Aarrgghh memories..........
