Just tell me the truth.........were you the driver in each shot or was it just luck that you were there?

Hi Tony,
Was the bad luck following you, or were you following the bad luck? Heres another that fell over but I wasn't there.

Nobody hurt in any of them to my knowledge.

The dumper on its side belonged to Frankipile, as do most of the site guys and the piling rig. The Poclain overalls would have clad a fitter. I think the guy in the white overalls was a site engineer. He has that stance about him.

And no, I just drove a lorry for them for a while. Cushiest job I ever had. Only did one delivery a day, and that sometimes only took a couple of hours. They didn't want you back in the yard at St Albans until late afternoon as you'd be in the way.
