'Ooops!, there goes the Holiday Bonus' Forklift Incident

After these photos were taken, I'd realized I did not add a crucial detail. The slight damage to the ground, when the forks came in contact. Not there would have been any major difference to the ground or tarmac, but it would make for a [...]
