[QUOTE="John B, post: 4629, member: 207"] When I was a school kid I used to help out shifting hives on a truck fitted with a Kelly loader. My job was tying the load down and opening and shutting gates . My one attempt at using the Kelly loader resulted in a hive spread all over the ground. They were pretty amazing things but not that easy to use and took a bit of practice. One night a couple of the guys were out unloading hives in a bit of a hollow. In the neighbouring house were some local yokels on the turps and all they could see were the lights on the Kelly boom swinging backwards and forwards , they decided that it was an UFO and promptly opened up with a 303. Fortunately no one was hurt. You can't legislate for stupid. [/QUOTE]
