Coal mine as been granted in Cumbria. Congratulations on 200 boy. Watch them all. Keep up the rants. This country is now coffee shops, heaven. Nowt happening here anymore. My kids have moved to perth Australia.
Couldn't agree more with you about closing the last remaining coal mines, same with the steel industry, the last 40 years of politicians from all the parties have all chopped this countries legs off, hope they are proud of themselves
Morning russ enjoyed your video thanks 😊 😀 Gary curtain trailer no more looking forward to seeing your new trailer 😀 👍 politicians are always right yeah right had too be said TTFN
G’day Russ 100% mate, the problem is that a few have a wet dream and expect the rest of us to be excited about it. Also the louder you shout and the more you get into people’s faces the more right you are. We have the same special people in OZ . Congratulations on the 200, keep them coming. Keep smiling mate JD
Great video Russell, totally agree with you about the Welsh government decision to shut everything down is madness. I've spent half my life working in coal , 38 years to be precise carrying it on my back . I see you have reached a milestone with your videos, congratulations too you on that 🎉🥳 . Your are te best lorry driver I follow, because you are so natural. Always so interesting and informative, your skills are impressive. Look forward to your next one, and your new trailer 😀. 👍👍
Lovely video as always even your intro when you say hello to people of the interweb as for the new trailer people can tell you like a child first time in a sweet shop.😂 Keep up your very interesting video looking forward when you have trailer fully extended for Max weight of machine
Its a shame they are closing the mines down, Russ because it isn't just the jobs in the mines which are going its also the jobs on the other areas or companies / factories which rely on the coal pulled from those mines. An example now, TATA over in Port Talbot I can see being badly affected as this still relies on what is mined in Merthyr not to mention the rail aspect of this also and all to import coal in from the likes of Brazil. Its shambolic by our government in my opinion and all it is going to do is increase the amount of people out of work in an area like you said, already deprived. All they want to do is build wind farms everywhere :D
Hi Russ, heard those pipes of yours today - being 06/07 as were driving through ferndale.. I was the fool who gave you the thumbs up... ;) Never see you around this neck of the woods...
Congratulations on 200 trucking days Russ. Talking of coal alot of the coal that was shipped over here from Australia and Africa is now being sold of to Europe as a lot of the coal power stations are shutting down
You the man Russ. 200 not out. Brilliant. Always fun, educational & nearly 100% guaranteed to get a rant😂😂 thanks for putting in the effort to make them all 👍🏼 That curry should remind us all that rice needs to be really well heated up if it has already been cooked otherwise its🤮 or💩 or both.
Russ, I sort of agree with your comments on the South Wales coalfield but the main seem was only about 4 feet thick. I don't understand how any coal got onto Dowlais Top as it should have been way above the seem. Adicted to your excellent videos.
Congratulation's on reaching this milestone Russell. Nothing wrong with having an opinion and sharing it with those who want to listen nothing better than listening to a Sunday rant, cant save the planet with mass unemployment that's guaranteed.
The preservation movement alone would keep a good mine going for a few years. Steam locomotives, traction engines, all need coal! The coal that`s being brought in just hasn`t got the calorific value than most of the UK coal so you make more pollution bringing it to this country than you do diggig ad burning our own!
Top man russ,makes you think if dickfod and co are getting their palms greased doesn't it,🤔congrats on your 200 milestone keep em coming buddy.👌(micra-man)newbridge 🏴
Congrats Russ👍. Everything you said was right. Problem with idiots in politics, they have never run a business or been successful with anything, especially using their own money. It’s not just the employees of the open cast it’s everyone who gets a share of their earnings, pubs, restaurants, and all their suppliers fuel, tires, parts and their employees. The government lose tax revenue, right, left and center. Who pays, the few people left working until the tax burden on companies leaves them unable to trade. Where is the revenue coming from to pay everyone unemployed when no one works. To import a product you have in ample supply is ludicrous, the money generated from the open cast far outreaches any so called savings. Like everything, once these other countries are the only ones left selling one product, the price is going to skyrocket and supply will go to the countries that can afford to buy it. Why would anyone with half a brain hold their people and country ransom and stop the chance of prosperity and independence. Boneheads. Two weeks today I’ll be on a flight out of Florida to the very place you have been showing. Not sure what to expect. 🏴🇺🇸
