Ashley 'The Crane King' Coghill makes a long overdue return to Biglotrryblgo with this curisotiy and says: "Hi again mate, as the 'CKC', health and safety at work plays a very important part in my daily duties. Being the conscientous person that I am... I tend to take a particular interest in other lorry loaders that I come across on my travels. My boss is always drumming it into me (and the others) how important it is to work safely at all times, so imagine my surprise when I caught up with this truck. At first glance I was somewhat shocked to see 6 cars on board and NOTHING holding them down. Then when we got to the roundabout and stopped, I got a better look. I could see that in fact there was one single chain over the top. Phew, that was close I thought. Actually, they are nicely secured with a tightly tentioned chain so I could relax... NOT! As he pulled away, the whole load swayed first to the left, then as he went gingerly around the roundabout, they all came back the other way!"

Ash continues: "To be honest, I don't even think the driver pulled the racket tentioner up at all. I had a good idea where they were being taken, so rang the local Police as I was genuinlly concerned for other motorists. Do I really have to tell you what the nice lady said to me? Well, I won't bore you with something you probably already know, hasten it to say they were all far far too busy to send out the Subaru Impressa and take up the 'high speed chase' which would undoubtly involve the helicopter and the stinger crew. ( the old Scania was doing at least 20mph, maybe even 21). I came back along the road an hour later and to my releif, there was no sign of any carnage, so I was able to sleep soundly that night, happy in the knowledge that no harm was done. Sweet dreams..."
