Lift capacities.

In Norfolk they have the honey cart.

I remember a relation telling me he got shot and wounded on a milk run. Apparently the Germans objected to him dropping bombs on them.

Back to subject. I dont really know if the rules are still the same, but if they are...

Once upon a time, engineering constructions that were built for people to stand on were dimensioned to flex a maximum of 0,5% of the span width when a load of 500kg per square metre was placed on them. This load came from a person that weighed 100kg landing on it from a height of 500mm. Thats probably the reason lift capacities are measured in persons. Take note though that if a separate weight limit of say 1000kg is given, the amount of persons will be under 10.

If anyone ever travels to Hamburg, and takes the lift up the tower of St. Michaelis, they will see that although the lift there is dimensioned for 10 people, sensors govern the weight limit, Quite often this will be triggered with only 7 or 8. They make the extra leave the lift!

 

My great aunt was killed by milk float. The milk mans horse used to pretend to run her over. One day it did.

That's like one of those weigh yourself scales they have (or did have) in supermarkets etc.

"One at a time please."

@shiney are you telling us Christine Keeler came from Norfolk?

This post means nothing to the youngsters on here!

 

Then you may mean the 60's drummer, Honey Lantree(?) She was from Middlesex if I remember correctly.

 

@Jack Sparrow @Linz @Sheal @pete @KFF @shiney @Fat Controller @Sandy Ground

WELL the things you learn on a Gardening forum - the mind B@@GLES
and before KFFY'y "" spots Sir Shiney's "half cut comment" dontcha go looking at me ya scallywag ...cos I don't use the bus ...as unfortunately like Shiney I don't have a Bus service - alternative travel is by pony and trap, tractor or quad

 

@shiney must have known Honey Lantree as she was a drummer and a hairdresser!!!
That's where the 'comb' came in for Honeycombs but did he meet her in a lift?
