When you were standing on a heaving deck in a 5 metre swell , discharging drill pipe to a rig Des, you soon learned who the good crane drivers were. JS

All sounds bit daft to me, do they check all the stuff that Walmart sells, about 90% Chinese. The latest one about China having to sell that Facebook thing is
