Think our Adkins Omega 8000 is about 100kg - so the idea of another 20kg on top of that to shift by yourself - argh. My right shoulder has never recovered from lifting the 8000 and that was with two other guys helping!

Sack them!.. hahaha! Ive only just heard about these machines. Will be good to see some finished products from someone real instead of the pictures on most sales sites.

On their wage slips this month put + £100 bonus for unloading new machinery - £100 for not helping.
Then watch them jump to it when the next new machine arrives.
