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

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