Back in 1999, I worked for a company who were contracted to build and install a new rock crusher, size sorter and stacker at Tunstead when it was still owned by BLI. I remember one of the guys seeing his first ever dumper truck they used, that were massive (the tires were something 8 or 10 feet across), made by Caterpillar. His comment was "🤬 me! If that's a Caterpillar, how big's the Butterfly!?"

I'm having a little laugh to myself at the image of all these huge and expensive trucks being shown off and you turning up with your wheel barrow. Keep up the good work Leo, bet they haven't got any trash collecting machines, but you have! 👍

Please get rid of the music

Unfortunately it’s a little late for that, the original clip of the blast had music so I felt I had to put something in. Sorry if this had a big impact to the video.

I was half tempted to go and have a look at this, but I didn’t. You did the work for me, thank you for your service 🫡
