Looks like a Foden now. The machine is Hymac.

It is a fiat allis S 15 and the arm isn't demo spec, its for excavating holes close to the machine. I know as I used to operate it. It was a hideous thing to use.

Typical man nonsense! It's the building and memories it gave to Wigan that matters, NOT what knocked it down! Pathetic!

Indeed Garry, well said. Lot cleaner than humping coal.

Comment by: Garry on 30th December 2016 at 18:58

I'm quite partial to a few chips actually, especially when they're cooked in lard over a roaring coal fire, and particularly so when they're accompanied by a large glass of sherry. I'll be round for my tea tomorrow Garry. Six o'clock o.k?. I'll bring a trifle from Tesco's. How big is this bottle of sherry by the way ?. Never mind, I'll bring a sleeping bag, just in case.
