The responsibility is just too much

[Dean Lofthouse]

I Crown lifted and deadwooded Trees above these pipelines two years ago.

 

The pipeline supply fresh purified water to the brewing plant that supplies half most of the UK with a couple of well known and very popular Beers. One of the brand names is an American consortium that bought the Brewery. So a big concern.

 

Can you imagine the consequences of dropping a log onto the pipeline and busting or fracturing it.

 

A large percentage of the UK's beer production would be halted. The supply would have to be checked for contamination etc and the cost could run into millions.

 

But the worst thing would have been the lynchings, can you imagine going out on the weekend.

 

"Can I have a pint of @@@@ please."

 

"Nah, sorry mate, you have to put up with this witch p1ss, that pillark of a tree surgeon up the road knocked out the supply for the week, I'll give you his details so you can bat him"

Simple, Go to Tesco, stock up on the 2 for 1 deals. Crack the job out safe in the knowledge that there are a few crates of beer at home should you need to go into hiding for a while!!!

Haha, you think they are that particular Dean? here's a story for you -

A few years ago my Uncle got a call from the Carlsberg / Tetley brewery in Burton on Trent (the UK's biggest brewery). My Uncle owns Fuel Energy Services, manufactures oil storage tanks, and had a large installation and pumping division.

 

Seemingly, the storage tanks for East midlands airport had been breached, and thousands of gallons of Kerosene had poured into the freshwater deep wells that the brewery drew their water from.

Long story short, he got paid a fortune to pump the fuel out of the wells, and also got paid to dispose of it. He did'nt buy any fuel for his trucks for a few years after...

 

However, he asked Carlsberg Tetley,what about contamination of the brewery water, and was told not to worry, they just dropped the suction pipes on the pumps below the Kerosene and carried on pumping. They say that for a few months you could get a faint whiff of diesel off every tetley pint....

Haha, you think they are that particular Dean? ..

 

It is only recently they have become rediculously particular. They have just had installed a system where if you have a spillage of any kind on site you have, dotted around the site, buttons like fire alarms. You smash the glass and hit the button which inflates a balloon in the main drain and seals off any contamination going into a sump.

 

This sump has it's own purpose built state of the art monitoring station which samples and records waste leaving site 24/7.

 

Water for beer making is drawn from a well and is sample and checked in much the same way. It's only in the last two years or so all these extra checks etc have come about
