Bush Tucker Man:
I was not best pleased at work this morning :evil:

I happened to glance out of the doors at about 10:30 this morning to see a Bedford CF camper across the ambulance bays.
The bonnet was up & the driver was messing.
It was blocking one & making access difficult to another, it was fairly quiet & we've got 6 anyway

Half-an-hour later it was still there, so out I wandered.....
It was stone dead, not a click of the solenoids even, he'd tried to earth the block straight back to the battery as a trial.

So after arranging a space to put it in, & with the 110 not too far away. it was removal time.

Hitched up, briefed driver on the route we'd be taking, & hung my On Tow sign on the back door.

Arrived at the Boiler-house yard, he coasted in behind me.
I got out to unhitch............ to find a 3" strap had magically decided to be come a frayed 1" strap :evil:

I reckon he'd tried to bump-start it on the way & (I think) had run over it & trapped it on a corner.

Not a word of thanks, or apology, or offer of recompense for the (now) useless strap :twisted:  :x

We have a system in place that allows claims to be made for personal property loss/damaged whilst in use for employment purposes, so I'm claiming for a new strap

It's not the money (it was a Machine Mart 5-tonner at about £10.00), but the principle, if he'd apologised, I'd have chalked it up to bad luck/
But as it was an attempt to keep our doors clear, the Trust can pay (hopefully)
