My Dads little mis judgement.............
This was the aftermath left when my dad turned his lorry on Thursday this week. He was on his way to Tideswell from Buxton. The road was blocked for quite a while, Maybe it affected you??

Not too sure how he managed it!!
He had to squeeze in for oncoming traffic and thinks he may have clipped a curb as he went around the bend and once it started going it never stopped. The drum was full of concrete at the time. Apparently cost the company 3k! just to get it recovered back to Sheffield!!

D, I have no contact with the company so why should that make any difference? What I choose to do with the picture is totally up to me. I thought it would bring a bit of light to the situation and yeah if my dad had been seriously hurt then i wouldn't have posted the pic.

O.K, explain how me posting a pic of the wagon has had an affect on my dad being dismissed? I'm not after an argument but many other people on the thread seem to have seen the light side.

If I lent my scoob to someone at work, and they wrote it off, I wouldnt be too pleased.
But I would understand that **** happens.
If I later stumbled upon a picture on www.CementMixer.co.uk with the driver of my car sat posing for a snap looking proud of himself, with a big grin on his face.
I would want to sack him too.
I hope you can see my point, without thinking, "But I was just trying to brighten up a gloomy day, and your a fcukin killjoy, partypooper....."
Sacking him is a bit harsh, if I was the boss I would make him 'Head of the toilet cleaning dept'.
Glad he is OK.

I know Scoobynet is quite popular but i doubt whether the boss of a concrete company frequents a Japenese performance vehicle forum. Now if you had sent the picture to Construction News Weekly with a caption saying "Driver pleased with his days work" then i might understand his anger.
Jeeez some people
Anyways, glad he's okay and a large compo claim for unfair dismissal to boot. It's turning out nicely for pops

Being a transport manager I can understand why he was sacked, unfortunately he hasnt got a leg to stand on unless he has been employed for at least a year, I think you could say this was gross misconcrete
