I don't know...what's the world coming to? Time was when you couldn't move for lorry drivers falling off t' waggons. Laugh? It were right grand entertainment. Then those flipping Health & Safety squad got involved and spoiled all the fun. Actually there's nothing funny about falling off a truck and considering the lousy access to tippers and other dropsided trucks that used to be provided for drivers in the past it's astonishing that more of them weren't killed or injured in falls from vehicles. So Biglorryblog says a 'Big UP' for Travis Perkins on the proper ladder access provided on the back of its delivery truck here which was in front of BLB this morning. DON'T start...we weren't moving this was at the lights. Alright? And what I like about this is that there are ladders on both sides of the body so no reason not to use them. Yes there's a lot to be said for H&S--if only to stop truck drivers becoming fall guys....

OK, Brian, tell us the secret - just how do you get your boots far enough apart to use those ladders?
Best wishes,
Roy.
