We had a rush job starting on Wednesday afternoon. we had to load 400 tonnes of cast out in a few hours, we already had 50 tonnes of steel booked out so we had 18 44 tonners to load ASAP. We worked until dark on Wednesday and started early on Thursday. Unfortunately the light was terrible for most of the time, very dull and darkness approaching or very dull with daylight getting better as the morning progressed. I had to wind the ISO up to be able to freeze the action when the wagons were reversing into position or coming back to the weighbridge loaded. In the middle of this Myers delivered a container and we were pretty congested by then.
The Sennebogen with magnet decided to burn a little plug out due to water ingress, this stopped us for 30 minutes as we found the fault and I found a temporary work around. We couldn't travel or slew - you couldn't have made it up. We couldn't move to get the grab in and we couldn't slew so we couldn't load with five wagons still to load.
I had an electrician here at seven this morning for a permanent repair.
As darkness fell on Wednesday Mark Kendrew turned up in his new Scania R620 V8, this wagon as been around getting sprayed etc. for most (all?) of this year and I've been waiting to see it. Unfortunately conditions weren't good but I'm OK with what I got, hopefully there'll be a next time. A very smart motor with a lot of extras fitted.

Some days we seem to get more tractors than wagons in the yard. These were taken the day after the Hurricane. This tractor has got the roof that blew off the swimming baths at Salendine Nook College the previous night which was all over the news. He brought a roof of his own yesterday and I've no idea how he is involved in the clear up at the school. For more about JB Schofield and Sons look here:
I have bought an adapter for the EOS M That allows me to fit vintage Canon FD lens to a 18mp digital camera. Unlike attempts at getting FD to work on other EOS camersa - this one works! I can now attach EF lens and FD as well as the STM Lens designed for it. I have used a variety of old FD lens this week, including a 17mm (here) and EF 16-35. The results with the old lens is fantastic, no quality problems. No instructions with the £16 adapter but it's well made and easy to figure out. It's a bit like using manual gear - you have to think about the process and mentally check each step. Focus with a long lens is tricky but with a wide angle infinity and F8 and the camera does the rest if the subject is more than ten foot away. Happy days - a new lease of life for my FD lens collection.

Alice Schofield Coates (1882 -1975)
On this day 10th January 1918 The House of Lords gave its approval to the Representation of the People Bill, which gave woman over the age of 30 the right to vote, as recognition of the contribution made by women defence workers during the First World War. However, women were still not politically equal to men, who could vote from the age of 21. Full electoral equality wouldn't occur until the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act of 1928.
•Here's a good article about Representation of the People Bill, which gave woman over the age of 30 the right to vote:

First Woman Councillor in Middlesbrough - elected for Labour in the Ayresome Ward, November 1919.
Born near Manchester, Alice Schofield-Coates trained as a teacher. She moved to Middlesbrough and in 1909 became an organizer for the local branch of the Women’s Freedom League. At one of her first meetings in Guisborough she was pelted with rotten eggs and tomatoes. Joining the fledgling Labour Party she campaigned for improved public health and better homes.
‘Alice became Middlesbrough’s first woman Councillor, a magistrate and chair of her constituency Labour Party. Along with her sister-in-law Marion Coates-Hanson she championed slum clearance and better housing, seeing the vote for women as the ‘key to the door’ for social and economic equality.’ Jill Liddington, Rebel Girls, p 304
She represented the Ayresome Ward on Middlesbrough Council from 1919 to 1922 and up to 1926 she was a Grove Hill Ward representative. Her husband Charles Coates was president of Middlesbrough Central Labour Party and represented the Newport Ward in 1924. In 1972, at the age of 90, when Alice was interviewed by Susan Slater, for the Evening Gazette. “Women should still be fighting for their rights”, said the tiny white haired old lady. “We did the pioneer work and now women are benefiting from it. Women should still be fighting for equality, especially for equal pay for equal work”, she said in her room in Levick House.
An active Women’s Freedom League organizer, she was imprisoned in 1909 for her part in a demonstration at the House of Commons.
‘…she and about 20 other women marched on Downing Street to present a petition to Asquith the Prime Minister. The police barred the way, there was a scuffle and Mrs. Coates, then a golden haired girl in her 20’s was sentenced to a month in Holloway Jail for obstructing the police.’ Gazette, 22/02/1972

8 de agosto de 2002, nace Jani, la primera hija del matrimonio Michael y Susan Schofield. Fue diagnosticada de esquizofrenia a los 6 años de edad.
The first new Foden four wheeler at Schofields, N284DWR replaced an ERF E6 180, unlike the ERF I specced this myself, with the Cummins 6ltr 210 and a 9 speed box this was better suited to our work than the ERF. We had updated our livery by now and I liked the look of this wagon.
Unfortunately the engine failed at 200,000km so I had a recon unit fitted, the wagon was then sandblasted and resprayed, had six new tyres fitted......and was destroyed in a fire!, due to an electrical fault shortly after. I had photo's and invoices to prove what we had done which was just as well as the loss adjuster wanted to adjust my loss and I was having none of it. we got a fair(ish) settlement in the end.

Always an ungainly looking thing with a second hand steel dropside that didn't suit it. A Gardner 6LW 120 was a step up from our 5LW's, Browns box, with a odd change sequence, forward, right across gate and back for one change, but one of the nicest boxes to drive - and I'm a Foden 12 speed man, As usual the 2 speed axle was hit and miss, clunk and rattle nightmare, reliable but frustrating.
