Rudolph Hooker -- Mothballed.
I was talking to a chap the other day in the Shroppie Fly at Audlem, who turned out to be a retired BW employee. He told me that a mate of his who worked for AV(2010)PLC had just found a stack of grass and hedge cutting gear in a warehouse near Nantwich.
Subsequent investigations showed the equipment had been purchased by the newly privatised BW (AV) and was much bigger, better and more efficient than anything they'd had before. Just one snag. The equipment was too high / wide to go under the average canal bridge. Some of it was too wide for the average towpath too. As a result it had been mothballed and hidden away in this little used and remote storage shed. It was all brand new with only an hour or two on the clock.
Presumably the person who ordered this equipment (roughly £350k's worth) was too embarrassed to take it back or sell it. So if any of you out there own a small holding or an estate and want some spanking new kit at give away prices contact AV(2010)PLC .
