0:00:04 > 0:00:08- Mansel Davies is one of the - most familiar names on our roads.
0:00:08 > 0:00:14- You'll inevitably get stuck behind - one of their 150 lorries.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- But have you ever wondered - how milk reaches your Cornflakes?
0:00:18 > 0:00:23- It's 28,000 litres - which is more than I could stomach!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25- That's only one full load.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- But it isn't the only thing - they transport.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- It's bye, bye to the Netherlands - and hello to Belgium.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Mansel Davies?
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- The company is decades old and if - Mansel wasn't holding the pencil...
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- ..he was certainly at the table - when the first wheel was designed.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Take pride in tailing - these kings of the road...
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- ..because this series will prove - that Mansel Davies was there first.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- The unlikely home - of this national colossus...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- ..is Llanfyrnach near Crymych.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Not every lorry - returns to HQ at night...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- ..as the company - has sites all over Wales.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- But the Mansel Davies & Son that - we know today was established here.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- My great-grandfather, John Davies...
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- ..started the business - at Llanfyrnach in 1875.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- He worked at the lead mines - in Llanfyrnach...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- ..but also sold agricultural goods.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- He established himself - as a lime, coal and grind merchant.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- In 1900, his son, - Mansel Davies joined the business.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- He was a merchant clerk for his - father and had his own sidings.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- The Cardi Bach Railway ran through - the village and carried all sorts.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Horse-drawn carts - travelled around farms...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- ..and carried coal, machinery - and food to the farmers.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- The business - ran like that for years.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- It would have remained this way...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- ..but with two lorries - instead of the horse and cart!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- But necessity - is the mother of invention.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Dr Beeching's cuts to the Cardi Bach - forced the company to change gear.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- This was when they needed - more lorries to collect the goods.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- Prior to this, the lorries only - collected goods from the trains...
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- ..or were sent to the quarries.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- This was when the business - started to expand.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- They needed to travel further - so the fleet started to grow.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- It's 6.00am...
0:02:46 > 0:02:52- ..and the drivers are preparing for - the company's all-important haul.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- You won't go far without milk.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Dai Hands - is an experienced driver...
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- ..and is on his way to Trewern - for the first collection of the day.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- I'm picking up 28,000 litres - and transporting it to London.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I hope to land in London - at about 2.30pm...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- ..with Heathrow's permission.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Yes, he will be flying - but only along the roads.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- The rush hour traffic in Crymych.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Milk is our main business.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- We live in this part of the country - and depend on agriculture.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- We're committed - to the farming community.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- We collect milk from 460 farms.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Most of it returns here - and is loaded into artic trailers.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- It's sent to processing plants - around the country.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- One of the factories - that Mansel Davies supplies...
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- ..is located over 200 miles away - in Acton near London.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Many years ago, the LondonWelsh - supplied the capital's milk quota.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Today, it's the Welsh - in Pembrokeshire.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Alan George is one of them.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Alan has served - as a driver for 30 years.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- My father worked for the company.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- He was a transport manager.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- I would join him at work - for a day or two.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- The school gave me - permission to join him...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- ..and it started from there.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- It's a great company.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- I can't complain.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Driving is in my blood.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- It's all I know.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Despite its size, - Mansel Davies is a local business.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Many of its staff live locally.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- I left school at 15...
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- ..and cycled down from Crymych - to see Kaye and Stephen.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- It's 27 years later - and I'm still here!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04- Do you often wash them?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Do you often wash them?- - Give it a blast, Dai.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- The door?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- The door?- - Yes, blast it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- Not me, the door!
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- Not me, the door!- - Alright.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17- I started out washing lorries - and worked my way up the ladder.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- I can't see me going any further.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- We employ 300 men here.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- We have 300 staff.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Last week, - one of them retired after 48 years.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- He said he was ready to retire - three years ago...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- ..but he stayed with us - until the age of 72.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- He was much fitter - than those who are 22.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- The company does more - than just transport...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- ..as there's more than one Mansel.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- We have three businesses - in our name.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- There's our lorries on the roads.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Mansel Davies & Son Garages....
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- ..is the local main dealer - for Volvo and Isuzu trucks...
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- ..which covers from - Swansea to Machynlleth.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- There's also Pembrokeshire Freight.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- It's an unaccompanied trailer - business that goes to Ireland.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- The empire is controlled from - the headquarters in Llanfyrnach.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- We start at 7.00am with the lorries - that make milk collections.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- There are 30 lorries - collecting milk.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Fifty drivers - make the collections...
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- ..from farms in Carmarthenshire, - Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Over six days, - I organize the artics...
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- ..or lorries taking the milk to - Llangefni, London and Southampton.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Everywhere apart from here.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- No two days are the same.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Tomorrow and Saturday - could be different to Friday.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Each day is different.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Six milk tankers could travel - to Haverfordwest on one day...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- ..and London the next day.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- It changes on a daily basis.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Each day differs for Alan - behind the wheel.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- What's life like on the road?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- It's a lonely life.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- I can go for days - without seeing a soul...
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- ..and only speak to my wife - on the phone.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- I'm rarely home to see my wife...
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- ..and only get the chance - to speak to her over the phone.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I've missed out - on seeing my son grow up...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- ..as I've been away - for long periods of time.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- I didn't see him take - his first steps or start school...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- ..and other things.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- You can get time off work.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43- It's difficult to get home for those - things as you could be in France.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I don't know - what makes it so appealing.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54- Once you're sat in the seat, - the adrenalin kicks in.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- It's as if you're hooked on it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- You can't let it go.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Everything is organized here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Eight members of staff work - in the traffic office every day.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- Someone is present for 365 days - organizing the milk collections.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Are you in Southampton, Nige'?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Make your way back to Carmarthen.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Good boy, Nige'. Ta-ra.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Problems arise every day - and it can be challenging.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- But we aim to solve them - and do our utmost.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- There are 70 lads on the road - in my patch.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- A few of them will ask - why they're doing certain jobs...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- ..but some jobs - are better than others.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I try to share them out - and find out the problem.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Can I take this call?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Mansel Davies?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- Dai Hands has reached Trewern - but loading isn't his only problem.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- There isn't a lot room - to drive through here.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- There's a grass verge - on either side of the lane.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- We're not supposed to drive over it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- The farmer gets quite angry.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- This involves some concentration.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Dai's hands are back on the wheel - to avoid the grass...
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- ..as another lorry arrives - to assist in loading the milk.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- The typical practice - is to load one lorry first...
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- ..and then unload it into another.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- We can unload it without it - going directly into the lorry.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- The literages of milk - are measured...
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- ..and it's pumped - directly into my lorry.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- You can gain 45 minutes - with this type of lorry.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- The other lorry isn't filled - as it pumps directly into my lorry.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- We'll have about 28,000 litres - of milk.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- That's more than I could stomach!
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- We farm over a thousand - dairy cattle...
0:10:13 > 0:10:19- ..and we produce between eleven - and twelve million litres a year.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25- It's important that we have a local - business to work out the logistics.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- You wouldn't get the same service - from an outside company.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- You'd have to go through the correct - channels to resolve any issues...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- ..but it's a simple phone call - or text here.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- OK, ta-ra.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- It's great to see a farm - with a lot of cattle.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- I was the son of a farmer - many years ago.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- That's good to know - if I ever need help with calving.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- The lorries can arrive - first thing in the morning.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- It depends on their hours - on the tachograph.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- They might have to wait on the yard.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- I don't charge any rent - but maybe it should be discussed!
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- Come on, Dai!
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- Thank you.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- I'm off to London!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19- HORN
0:11:23 > 0:11:24- .

0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- Back at the office and the lads - take advantage of Cameron's absence.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- He's the only Scotsman in the office - and a target for childish antics.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Life is too short not to have fun.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Some of them are worse than me - like Dai Chips.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- We enjoy having some fun - and sometimes it's extreme.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- But at least the work is done.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- Have you put enough on it?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05- Have you put enough on it?- - Goodness, yes.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Oh, yes. Let's top it up.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- We experience quiet - and busy periods.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Everyone's busy - at different times.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- It's great to annoy them - whilst they're busy.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Maximum effect!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Yeah, he does.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- So, he's had a surprise.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- TELEPHONE
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- I'll turn that down.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- Yo!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- How are you doing, dude?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32- Good.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- What are you up to?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Eh?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- What's that?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42- Hold on.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Your ear, Cam.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- BLEEPING
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- LAUGHTER
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- This is an impersonation - of a Scottish panda bear.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- That wasn't you. - You don't do things like that.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- That is his party piece.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- I will get him back - before the end of the day.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Black eye, black ear.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Right, right, chin-chin.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- It's a quiet office, nobody messes - about and we work hard every day.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- That's Kaye phoning!
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- Honestly!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- The business has plenty of staff...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- ..to deal with any - new demands in the industry.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Extending a tanker is like - child's play for Bacwn, the welder.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- We're splitting this tank in half - to extend it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- It was built 20 years ago - when the capacity was less.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Since then, - truck loads have increased.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- They need to be extended - so that they can carry more milk.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- We measure it twice - so that it's only cut once.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- We measure the area to split...
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- ..then mull over it - before we start cutting.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- It will have a capacity - of 30,000 litres.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- However, due to the gross weight it - will only carry about 28,000 litres.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- I can hide from my boss inside - the tank so it's an alright job.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29- I'm sure it is.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Don't tell the jokers in the office - or they'll weld you inside.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- In the meantime, - Alan has reached a bustling London.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- There's so much traffic - with bikes, buses and taxis.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- It's difficult to travel - in and out of London...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- ..but I enjoy going there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- We'll turn here - for Shepherd's Bush...
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- ..before entering Acton.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Oh, it's looking quite promising.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Twelve o'clock.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12- I know I'm a bit late.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- I'll park it alongside.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21- We've arrived.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- How many are here?
0:15:25 > 0:15:26- There's one...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- ..two, three, four, five.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- There are six lorries in front of us - so it's going to take a while.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Let's take the paperwork - to book in, show samples...
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- ..and find out what's happening.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45- Back at the garage...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- ..and Bacwn is still busy welding.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- The tank has been split in two...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- ..so we need to make a joint - and solder it back together.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- I've got to bend the iron - so that it fits on the joint.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- Half is welded to the back and the - other half is welded to the front.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- When I've finished welding it...
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- ..I'll fit a baffle - on top of the iron plate.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- The tanks are quite long - so are split into sections.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Some tankers will not collect - a full load from a creamery...
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- ..so they could only be - three-quarters full of liquid.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34- If the driver brakes suddenly - at a roundabout or junction...
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- ..the milk swishes back and forth.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- The baffle aims - to reduce this movement...
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- ..and helps to stop the milk - from sloshing around...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- ..as it can force the lorry forward.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- The last thing you want - is to brake at a junction...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- ..and the lorry jerks forward.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- If I ever need to talk about - baffle deployment...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- ..I'll know where to come.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- The petrol tanker has arrived.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- I'm usually here twice a week - as they need a lot of diesel.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- I've got 35,000 litres today.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- They've already had one load - this week.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Diesel is one our biggest costs.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- The cost of the diesel is included - in most of our contracts.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- The customer also benefits.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Diesel prices go up and down - so I charge accordingly.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- It's safer this way - as I can manage my expenses...
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- ..and the customer - can control their costs too.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Stephen manages the office.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- And nothing gets passed his father, - Kaye, on the yard!
0:17:48 > 0:17:53- I could arrive at 5.00am - and the light is on up there.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- He's on the yard - by the time I bring the lorry here.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- I could arrive at 4.30pm - and he's still here.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- I asked him if he lives here but he - waits for lads to come home safely.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I respect him a lot - and that's why I call him Mr Davies.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- We monitor the gauge...
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- ..and Mr Davies - tells us the amount he wants.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- There isn't a drop left - as he takes it all.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- I wouldn't like to pay his bill.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- We've got to have - 260,000 litres every week.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- You should buy your own tanker, - Kaye.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- No, I don't think so.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- No, I don't think so.- - Don't tell him that!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I've got to leave some work - for the others.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- The queue of lorries in front - of Alan in Acton hasn't moved.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- His colleagues - are causing the hold-up.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45- How long have you been waiting?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- How long have you been waiting?- - I've been here since 10.30am.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- 10.30am?!
0:18:51 > 0:18:52- And you're still here.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- And you're still here.- - Yes, I'm still here.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- I haven't moved for two hours.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- It doesn't look promising.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59- It doesn't look promising.- - No, it doesn't.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06- Alan will have to get his skates on - to catch a ferry after off-loading.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- He calls the office - to check his options.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- Mansel Davies?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- Mansel Davies?- - Hello, Rhodri.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12- How are you, Alan?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- How are you, Alan?- - I'm good.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- There's a problem in Acton.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17- Are they full?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Are they full?- - Yes, they are.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- There must be about 13 - or 14 lorries here.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- A lot of the drivers - only ever do the London route.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- They leave Acton - and travel to Meidrim...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- ..and return to London the next day.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- That's all they do.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40- Do you know Ifty?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Do you know Ifty?- - Yes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Go and see Ifty. - He's been on the phone.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- OK, then.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- OK, then.- - OK.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- Ta-ra.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Time to get nifty with Ifty!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- I don't like jumping the queue.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I've got to catch a boat - and if I don't catch it...
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- ..we'll have to sleep on the floor!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- That doesn't look like a happy face.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- That guy with the beard's an idiot.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- And he's swearing...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- ..like a drover.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- I told him not to swear - because he's on television.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- It's never stopped me, but - Alan's made his way to the front.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- Are you fine about that?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Are you fine about that?- - I can take some space.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- OK, so I'll go in there.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35- OK, then.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- He's got a better chance - of catching the ferry now.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Hey, magic!
0:20:42 > 0:20:43- Is everyone happy?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Is everyone happy?- - Yes, we're on the pump now.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- There's hope of catching the ferry!
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- The second half of the lecture - on baffles is about to start but...
0:20:54 > 0:20:55- Things magically go missing.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Things magically go missing.- - There's a problem.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- You put something down - and can't find it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- It's not there when you go back.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- It was time to join both tankers.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13- We'll push it together and hopefully - it will latch onto the front one.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I'm a couple of inches away.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- CLATTERING
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Was that a baffle?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- The ladder has gone south.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28- Yes, it's OK.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- We'll insert the top first...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- ..before tempting the two parts - together.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46- They'll meet at the top - before closing the gap between them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- It's quite a task.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- It's difficult.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- After a lot of huffing and puffing - and some advice...
0:21:57 > 0:21:58- Does it need to go down further?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Does it need to go down further?- - It looks alright.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- It just needs a good slap!
0:22:05 > 0:22:06- OK.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08- Hallelujah!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- # Hallelujah!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- # Hallelujah!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- # Hallelujah, hallelujah!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- # Hallelujah! #
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- How does it feel?
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- It's home!
0:22:28 > 0:22:29- Well...
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- We're not quite there, - but we're on the home stretch.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36- Fantastic.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- I knew you could do it, Dai.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- What is Bacwn's secret?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Did he play with Lego or Meccano - as a boy?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Strangely enough, - I didn't have Meccano...
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- ..or any Lego either, so I don't - know where I got this knack.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03- That's one problem solved and - in Acton, Alan can catch his ferry.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- That's it - and I'll see you next week.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14- Goodbye.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- It's another successful day - for Mansel Davies & Son.
