You can't tell me these are all planned! Anybody know what the hell is happening tup norf? Most are s/b closures. Newcastle to Brum and down to west.

What a beautiful morning. Play safe folk & look out for one another. Sadly I recently learned yet another construction worker lost his life due to conflict with a piece of plant. 😭 Worse when I've previously worked alongside his father. Condolences to all those effected.

Should I be looking for a new "handle"🤷‍♂️? What's not to love about own bed at night & beautiful places to play. Just like a big kid. #cabhappysincechildhood #livingthedream #loveitliveit

Those who do FB & or LinkedIn may well know already but for those that don't. The Hydrema duck is sold and I'm no longer an owner operator. My decision, time was right, too many years away, time to be home at night. 21yrs isn't a bad innings.

Off, you can fuck!! And everyone who who went out of their way to make it as awkward as possible to sort it out!! And for the record, I think I'm conversant with the kobelco product and it does what it asked to do ask my customers who have seen the difference for themselves!

Nearly 4years to the day since we initially raised concerns over wear on a SECOND machine that @Masonbrosplant failed to rectify and blamed steelwrist for a 2nd time, (now dealers) and TWO years since it's been parked up, I've been sent this from Europe, good news travels well🤣 – at Wales, United Kingdom

If they start needing a drink every day find out why. Importance of daily checks. Took a bit of finding 😳 thought it was pipe not fitting 🙈 on the shelf @HydremaUK thank you. #hydrema #MX14 #wheeledexcavator #rubberduck
