73 year old here. all truck drivers should have priority, weather it be haulers, small firms, companies like yours, all I put in my car is my usual 15 pounds once a month. Will not follow the sheep. So we'll done for keep going.
I feel your pain Dave I learned a wee trick years ago to alleviate my back pain . when you get up in the morning stand with your feet flat on floor and your legs spread with your arms bye your side fists clenched and push your fists down and away from your body keeping your back straight. Do about 10 times . Seems to re energise the muscles . Its worth a try
Just want to say my friend that works at stanlow oil refinery swears there is nothing changed with drivers or output He and I agree timing too convenient It's setup up by the government to flush out the old e5 unleaded That he tells me had only a month of life left before they couldn't sell Also with the laws changing as well
Deliver pizzas use bout £13 a night I haven't panicked once this time luckily there's nothing to panic about I just fill up at 11pm when people sleep instead of waiting Been putting on 40 a time not 20 If it's your living get what you need
Oh my goodness Dave my heart goes out to having your back out and bouncing around in the truck not to mention climbing the ladder I am just hoping it doesn't lock up then. Get better soon. Stevie team duck here. I laughed and smile everytime I think about tolietpaper sofa so true your rant but very funny delivery.
I remember a time when almost every yard had it's own fuel storage, even back as a boy we had fuel tanks filled once a week by the fuel tanker, I do remember over the years the regulations got tighter, proper run-off/drainage, security/access keys, I cannot remember when I last saw fuel storage everyone seems to have an account or fuel card.
I remember when i made wrought iron gates and railings and i had customers wanting 50-70kg drive gates mounting to a 12inch square brick pillars and they wouldn't be too pleased when i told them we won't fit them because the pillar isn't strong enough and it would be down to us if the pillar cracks off at the base and the other pillar would be same diameter and free standing, we would tell them if they want them gates fitted they would need the pillars dismantling and either a bigger pillar building and filled with concrete or a steel box section installing into the ground and bricking up. 99% of the time those problems occurred when it was the sales rep going out to people and trying to aqueeze out as much money as he could but couldn't care less if the gates were to heavy for the pillars as long as he got a sale.
Loved the rant Dave couldn’t agree more with what you said and couldn’t have said it better. Worlds just gone potty . Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Love Dave’s rant , toilet roll sofa 😂, I blame the media if you tell people not to panic well they panic ,nice gate hangs , great instalment. Hope Dave’s back recovery is swift.nothing worse .
I’m trying to catch up on your earlier videos. 3 months after this was posted you have 3.6K likes. I’m in US and wish we had your crew here. Love the idea of the cement board at bottom and the use of the cement posts also. They put the wooden posts into the ground here and after a few short years they rot and need to be replaced. Also the fence boards that touch the ground rot. Just their way of getting more money.
Just looked this up. The vast majority comes from imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is transported to the UK by sea from countries such as Qatar and the US. Other reliable suppliers include the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium. About half of the UK's gas comes from the North Sea, and a third is sourced from Norway.Mar 11, 2022
I have just laughed that much, i fell off my toilet roll sofa, kicked the toilet roll coffee table over and fell head first into my 30,000 gallon fuel tank . thankfully i managed to fill it up last week ready to for my lawn mower or i might have hurt me soft head! Great Video lads ... keep sane whilst everyone else has gone la la .... p.s going to start buying 1,000 of pork chops next week ......
Fuel shortage in Bedfordshire too. Some garages wont let fuel cans be filled but it must be a nightmare for gardeners etc that need cans for lawnmowers chainsaws etc.
Don't worry about the ducks and moor hens they will leave and come back when you've gone, it's the swan that will fight you for their territory, but you need to get it done some time soon before end of winter. If the swans are not there time to clean it. 🤓
Morning guy’s, another great video, I totally agree the fuel situation is getting out of hand I’ve seen 1 guy with a funnel and 8 large water bottles unfortunately I can’t put on here what I said to him, your fencing and gates always looks 100%, hope your back is better, keep them videos coming.👍
Friday feeling ! Bricks never showed up so ended up hand digging a footing on a garage conversion on the sunniest ( best day for bricklaying ) of the week 😩😩. Stevie when those concrete screws are being stubborn a quick blast of WD40 helps them in , less stress on your drill or impact driver too 😉👌🏼. And Dave with your back playing up you could do with a holiday 🤣🤣🧱👍🏼
Glad i dont need fuel but feel your pain having to queue for it... Is it time to panic buy fencing gates from d&j and other landscape supplies.. Great video as always. Stevie davie dads back😁 no more stevie 😭 flooding the river. Lol😜 Woohoo to the 🦆🦆🦆
I live near Manchester and have been working in Port Talbot ,South Wales. I got down to 40 miles range before getting fuel to travel home. I feel for you guys.
If your customers have a can of fuel for you instead of a cuppa . 🤪 Can you use this situation to better your use of fuel going forward.. Maybe you could broadcast alert when you're in delivery areas that you have space to deliver or collect, so you have a full load.. better use of your time and fuel.. 🤔
No I have not been stuck in the absolutely crazy que I filled up 3 weeks ago and that will last me a couple of months but the wife's car is nearly on empty so I guess we will have to go and put some in .keep up the good work you are lucky my Dad was always missing.
Another great week at D&J. I hope your back repairs as I know what and how you're suffering Dave. I have had a Graff Stabilisation of my lower lumber spine and that's not good.
From working in a retail park litter picking with 5 fast food outlets and being 2 minutes away from the River Bann in Coleraine. I can understand why that site has that sign. Like I’ve saw big water rats eating lift over McDonald’s food. As for the fuel shortage issue have you thought about converting the fleet so they can turn fast food waste into fuel?
Yet another cracking video, lovin how you keep the vids cheerful and you find stuff to talk about...cheers for the follow....I have a long way to go yet !
Nice vid lads. I know it’s crazy about this fuel panic buying. I agree with you it will affect small businesses etc. And the Emergency services I am a Retained Firefighter and we spent 1 hr & 15mins to wait for our turn we had no option as we could of got called out at a seconds notice. Hopefully people will listen and stop fuel panic buying.
You do make a cracking job of alterations and add on's stevie and that's a sign of a quality tradesman right there, glad you value your time off time Dave it's important to keep that balance brother. Once again thanks so much for your support with our channel I'm so blown away in a time where everyone in the world seems to be falling out with each other, its nice to see someone help their fellow brothers out. Keep up the amazing work boys I'm sure 100k is only around the corner D&J projects ✌️
If you pause ⏸ it at 40:51 with the greatest respect (and the gates are very well made👌🏻) those different length and angled diagonal braces just don’t please the eye. Am I missing the reason for the middle brace not being central?
…. I see at 49:06 it’s how Jamie’s making them. Each to their own, I’m one of these fussy buggers that has to have things looking evenly spaced or it bugs me forever. 😁👍🏻 If it’s to accommodate the latch higher up the gate I’d just fix a block to fix it to. Cheers …..
Get an 8" foam roller and roll from back of the neck/shoulders down to the base of your back with your arms raised,use your legs a bit , works for me for a quick reset
The gates would look better without the top diagonal brace,it’s at too much of an angle to be of any support anyway and just my opinion but I think they would look a lot better without it. Keep the vids comin 👌
So stevie apologised for the wind was it taff farting just asking cause flatulance is rife in very old people 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and then dave comments his misses said hes to have it off with a bad back as well make of that what you will 😬😬😬 another good video i enjoyed it and well said dave about all the panic buyers they piss me off to any way fuel buy ya own container at work could save you a fortune in the long run at least you will have fuel and not rely on garages hope ya enjoyed spain keep up the good work 👍
We produce our own stinky biofuel , only issue we had was during lockdown as couldn't get enough oil fromnchippys as a lot were closed or doing reduced business!
They don't have card lock pumps in the UK? We use commercial account fuel only pumps here. My truck fuels twice daily & runs four 176 mile trips per day (1133km) no time for t/s or store pumps waits.
Does your panel machine make up diamond shape pattern trellis? I’m after some custom sizes all 2 ft tall, if so what’s the lead time on them for collection Many thanks
My brother has a building firm an has his own tank at his yard so no dramas for him ,think u boys should do the same , couple grand for a tank but never a drama then ,watch All the videos btw keep it up 👍
Agreed, idiots panic buying fuel. Great gate replacements stevie and taff. Have you tried plastic welding the tripod instead of superglue?
73 year old here. all truck drivers should have priority, weather it be haulers, small firms, companies like yours, all I put in my car is my usual 15 pounds once a month. Will not follow the sheep. So we'll done for keep going.
I feel your pain Dave I learned a wee trick years ago to alleviate my back pain . when you get up in the morning
stand with your feet flat on floor and your legs spread with your arms bye your side fists clenched
and push your fists down and away from your body keeping your back straight.
Do about 10 times . Seems to re energise the muscles . Its worth a try
I suffered badly with sciatica for years bought a water bed within a week no back trouble as their are no pressure points as in a normal bed
Anyone else been stuck in these crazy fuel queues?! #WorldsGoneMad
15 mins about 2 days ago refused to join the panic as this panic buying for no reason was causing the problems
Been ok round here went to Essex Tuesday was crazy down there and motorway had to wait hour for fuel
get your own tank matey then no problems
Just want to say my friend that works at stanlow oil refinery swears there is nothing changed with drivers or output
He and I agree timing too convenient
It's setup up by the government to flush out the old e5 unleaded
That he tells me had only a month of life left before they couldn't sell
Also with the laws changing as well
Deliver pizzas use bout £13 a night I haven't panicked once
this time luckily there's nothing to panic about I just fill up at 11pm when people sleep instead of waiting
Been putting on 40 a time not 20
If it's your living get what you need
Bow top fence and gates mate great work boyos looks fantastic
Another great video from you guys and it’s lovely to see that I’m not the only tradesman who takes care and makes a proper job. 👍👍👍
Oh my goodness Dave my heart goes out to having your back out and bouncing around in the truck not to mention climbing the ladder I am just hoping it doesn't lock up then. Get better soon. Stevie team duck here. I laughed and smile everytime I think about tolietpaper sofa so true your rant but very funny delivery.
😭😭😭😭 sitting on there toilet roll settee looking at there cars on the drive with a full tank of fuel.... brilliant 👏
Glad you getting through it.👊
Be nice to see and hear more taff. Always in background and such a grafter, d&j really do enjoy you content,
To reiterate Taz, I would be looking for an old tanker, and park it up in the yard keep fuel for future bad times , it will happen again.
I remember a time when almost every yard had it's own fuel storage, even back as a boy we had fuel tanks filled once a week by the fuel tanker, I do remember over the years the regulations got tighter, proper run-off/drainage, security/access keys, I cannot remember when I last saw fuel storage everyone seems to have an account or fuel card.

99% of the time those problems occurred when it was the sales rep going out to people and trying to aqueeze out as much money as he could but couldn't care less if the gates were to heavy for the pillars as long as he got a sale.
Good to see Taff back in action, the fuel situation is totally crazy.
Crazy week with all this panic buying, glad you managed to get fuel and not effect your week too much.
Quality rant!
Toilet roll sofa is exactly the image people need to understand this madness.
Loved the rant Dave couldn’t agree more with what you said and couldn’t have said it better. Worlds just gone potty . Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
You went "out out"..,😂.. great you take a break to re-energise..
52:34 Oooooh Suit you sir! Hope your back's better soon brother
Best channel going # there serious # top work
Happy days. Again.always do great work 👍 an glad u managed to get sum fuel 👍

Love Dave’s rant , toilet roll sofa 😂, I blame the media if you tell people not to panic well they panic ,nice gate hangs , great instalment. Hope Dave’s back recovery is swift.nothing worse .

Enjoyed the vid lads , Lots of Gates for Stevie an Taff lol , hope back heals Big Dave keep Trooping on , Thanks lads 👍
Great video lads but time for a diesel tank fitted at the yard to keep you boys going in time of need that would make a great episode.
loving the gates
Loved your rant dave spot on with everything you said

Team Morehen needs a shout out!
Have you ever thought about putting little metal plates on your fencing , with your details .... would be great for follow on work ?
Good idea Paul 💡😉
Another great one chaps. In my opinion Dave when the wife says 'have it off' you should do exactly what she says otherwise you'll be in trouble! 😉
😂😂😂😂😂
The wheel wash, never seen that before, cool idea, great vid as always guys, keep up the great work
I have just laughed that much, i fell off my toilet roll sofa, kicked the toilet roll coffee table over and fell head first into my 30,000 gallon fuel tank . thankfully i managed to fill it up last week ready to for my lawn mower or i might have hurt me soft head!
Great Video lads ... keep sane whilst everyone else has gone la la ....
p.s going to start buying 1,000 of pork chops next week ......
Hahaha bloody brilliant, the rant about fuel and toilet rolls had me in stitches 🤣
I have had to pop out at 03:00 hrs to get my fuel but that’s a car not a truck hope the situation improves for you soon 🇬🇧
Agree the situation is absolutely ridiculous hope you get plenty to keep working.👍👍👍
brilliant episode guys, watching this and Ashville is literally Sunday heaven...
I've just been for a late night trip for fuel 10min wait. Was down to 60miles so a £100 top up 😁
Fuel shortage in Bedfordshire too. Some garages wont let fuel cans be filled but it must be a nightmare for gardeners etc that need cans for lawnmowers chainsaws etc.
Man like taff.😎👊👊
Don't worry about the ducks and moor hens they will leave and come back when you've gone, it's the swan that will fight you for their territory, but you need to get it done some time soon before end of winter. If the swans are not there time to clean it. 🤓
What you said about being limited to £30. I say they should make it a minimum of £30. That would stop the buggers topping up.
Morning guy’s, another great video, I totally agree the fuel situation is getting out of hand I’ve seen 1 guy with a funnel and 8 large water bottles unfortunately I can’t put on here what I said to him, your fencing and gates always looks 100%, hope your back is better, keep them videos coming.👍

Stevie when those concrete screws are being stubborn a quick blast of WD40 helps them in , less stress on your drill or impact driver too 😉👌🏼.
And Dave with your back playing up you could do with a holiday 🤣🤣🧱👍🏼
Oh no don’t get rid off Taff. 😂😂👍
Definitely team duck. Swans are lovely to look at. Ducks have personality! 😀
Glad i dont need fuel but feel your pain having to queue for it...
Is it time to panic buy fencing gates from d&j and other landscape supplies..
Great video as always.
Stevie davie dads back😁
no more stevie 😭 flooding the river. Lol😜
Woohoo to the 🦆🦆🦆
I live near Manchester and have been working in Port Talbot ,South Wales. I got down to 40 miles range before getting fuel to travel home. I feel for you guys.
hope your ok , nothing worse get some ibrufen loads of people have done it with simple tasks mine was was in the shower just lifting my arms
Love your bush mechanic repair on the crane Dave, hope you sort your back out. As always top video
Yep still continuing down south people still cueing at the pumps
Yes Stevie you did say "TONGUE AND GREEN SCREEN" 😂
Well Justified rant, Dave. 😖👍
If your customers have a can of fuel for you instead of a cuppa . 🤪
Can you use this situation to better your use of fuel going forward..
Maybe you could broadcast alert when you're in delivery areas that you have space to deliver or collect, so you have a full load.. better use of your time and fuel.. 🤔
We have fuel around here now, still massive issues with drivers though
No I have not been stuck in the absolutely crazy que I filled up 3 weeks ago and that will last me a couple of months but the wife's car is nearly on empty so I guess we will have to go and put some in .keep up the good work you are lucky my Dad was always missing.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Nice job Dave (#rubber band man #sailor #icy hot). Great video as always guys. Looking forward to Wednesday!! 💯👍
Mint D and J as per usual 👌
Another great week at D&J. I hope your back repairs as I know what and how you're suffering Dave. I have had a Graff Stabilisation of my lower lumber spine and that's not good.
A hour and forty minutes with Taft!!! Must have had a few laughs.
Hope you heal up fast big man!
From working in a retail park litter picking with 5 fast food outlets and being 2 minutes away from the River Bann in Coleraine. I can understand why that site has that sign. Like I’ve saw big water rats eating lift over McDonald’s food.
As for the fuel shortage issue have you thought about converting the fleet so they can turn fast food waste into fuel?
They say the fuel situation is all over but drove past 5 stations the other day all out of fuel

Thank you Martin for your kind words 🙏
I was up in Yorkshire yesterday, it's soo nice not seeing any queues, a petrol garage down here sold out all petrol at 2.98/litre I think
If you pause ⏸ it at 40:51 with the greatest respect (and the gates are very well made👌🏻) those different length and angled diagonal braces just don’t please the eye.
Am I missing the reason for the middle brace not being central?

The most simple things Dave are what does my back in, hope your on the mend now though. Not pleasant back pain.

Great video, thank you. Dave, consider acupuncture for your back? Worked for me 🇬🇧
Come on everyone let's get them to 5k fantastic work my friends
Always brilliant videos, love the dynamic
Hi pal great video yet again like always love watching them
Why don't you have your own derv tank in yard
Been looking into getting one Karl 👌🏻
Get an 8" foam roller and roll from back of the neck/shoulders down to the base of your back with your arms raised,use your legs a bit , works for me for a quick reset
Gday guts another great video and i was number623 for smashing the Like👍😊
The gates would look better without the top diagonal brace,it’s at too much of an angle to be of any support anyway and just my opinion but I think they would look a lot better without it. Keep the vids comin 👌
Is it possible to have your own full station in the yard. Or will it be to expensive.
So stevie apologised for the wind was it taff farting just asking cause flatulance is rife in very old people 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and then dave comments his misses said hes to have it off with a bad back as well make of that what you will 😬😬😬 another good video i enjoyed it and well said dave about all the panic buyers they piss me off to any way fuel buy ya own container at work could save you a fortune in the long run at least you will have fuel and not rely on garages hope ya enjoyed spain keep up the good work 👍
Lets hope the fuel problem gets sorted sooner rather than later.
Not too shabby!! :-)
Another cracking video lads keep them coming
We produce our own stinky biofuel , only issue we had was during lockdown as couldn't get enough oil fromnchippys as a lot were closed or doing reduced business!
They don't have card lock pumps in the UK? We use commercial account fuel only pumps here. My truck fuels twice daily & runs four 176 mile trips per day (1133km) no time for t/s or store pumps waits.
I’ve been going to the garages at 4am and no queues
I enjoyed it 👍🏼 Now is the time to invest in battery vehicles. Zero road tax until 2025.
Hi not saying you will but I have just been to Sainsbury’s in Arnold for fuel about 10 mins ago and got straight in and out with any ploblem
Run big red on on cherry 🍒 😂😂😂
Keep up the videos lads
Does your panel machine make up diamond shape pattern trellis?
I’m after some custom sizes all 2 ft tall, if so what’s the lead time on them for collection
Many thanks
A question - why use wooden posts, not concrete ?
Someone been cleaning the Leen up no bike or oil drum. Still no fuel in London the madness continue down south
Hey! not to shabby Steve lol
No lines in the USA but it’s up to $5.00 a gallon
Great video 👍
Why are the braces on the gate different sizes ? Just curious why they are not equal
Isn't there any hgv only fuel places by you guys 1 near us has run dry but the other 2 have been a life saver ain't had to cue or go with out anyways
Stevie.......... been waiting on this video all morning.
My brother has a building firm an has his own tank at his yard so no dramas for him ,think u boys should do the same , couple grand for a tank but never a drama then ,watch All the videos btw keep it up 👍
