I was offered a chance to drive the forklift today... I declined,
Not that I didn't want to, but I felt negotiating the specialist engine workshop with £2k worth of engine on a pallet, was a little too risky for my first dalliance with that particular piece of machinery.
Maybe next time... preferably outside with a lot of open space![yes](/inc/images/yes.gif)

I would love to have a go driving a forklift, always have done since my parents took me to a "cash and carry" about forty years ago and there were blokes there spinning those things around with the "doorknob" on the steering wheel, with the back wheels steering; looked great fun Not that I didn't want to, but I felt negotiating the specialist engine workshop with £2k worth of engine on a pallet, was a little too risky for my first dalliance with that particular piece of machinery.

Lazy Knob is the popular term - I have one on my steering wheel in my lorry. Very useful when reversing in tight spaces.![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

I have a forklift licence/papers from when I worked for a findus in the '70s albeit an electric one.![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
