Cucumber is better imho, but the best improvement is to be made by using "Fever Tree" tonic (and not the diet stuff either), by far the best tonic on the market and works brilliantly with Hendricks, Adnams Copper House, and Schwartzwald gins, but it's too strong for most other gins I've tried.kiwikrasher wrote:I tend to go fresh lime with gin but Hendricks as you obviously know cries for cucumber!

Re: Weekend plans
Well, my weekend plans and next week have just changed in a hurry, a customer has written off a one week old piece of our equipment, we don't know the circumstances yet but my Boss has to go and represent us to the various authorities concerned, which means my trip to Germany has just been cancelled (again) as I have to cover for him next week. That's the second load of flights, car hire and hotels we've had to write off at the last minute because of issues like this, it's a mad industry and that's for sure.

Re: Weekend plans
Yup it was paid for only a week ago at over £750k, for legal reasons I can't be too specific, but it was this kind of thing.

Wow I didn't release Tonka toys were that expensive
All joking aside looks an impressive piece of kit. I used to drive a crane and always enjoyed it. Hope its nothing serious mate.

Re: Weekend plans
Funnily enough it's not hard, I've known plenty to be written off over the years due to fire damage, several to be tipped over whilst erected (wrecking the boom) and half a dozen where they've rolled or run off a road which can twist or bend major components due to the weights involved, despite the Tonka toy appearance they are very precisely put together and don't need much of a whack to mess them and rack up big bills.
