Andy was working down Corpy Road?? Is Chris you're PIMP?

pmsl, chris be pimpim me out lol, yep, patten street is the one, number 22 ! well done sound lad and joe !

the yellow crane by mobil is at bidston dry dock and dont work any more, they got a new one but it will never work cos they gonna build a new road right through the dock site and lairds cant use it as a dry dock cos of an agreement

The scrap metal is either in Nortons or EMR in Liverpool, whoever is giving the best prices on steel at the time!
The cranes have almost gone now, was working on Technical Demolitions machines the other day, only got the bulky scrap to cut down to managable sizes now!

The description says Liverpool, it annoys me when Wirral is described as Liverpool.

It's worse when your away from the Wirral and your addressed as 'Scouse'! Lol

Thanks for sharing the video Andy, that was cool.

I used to get that living in Leicester - I think I ended up losing the accent over time to accommodate those who couldn't understand me

When I first started uni down there I lived in halls with a girl from Derry, NI. She was impossible to understand - we spent the first 2 weeks speaking pidgin English to make sense of each other. And working with people from India or Pakistan with very thick accents - blimey, the things you can mishear! Not to mention Malaysian students - even madder to understand!! Especially funny as they have a way of saying 'la' at the end of sentences.

I know one of the crains was washed up.is the other one still in use???
