Didn't need to I've been there, and waited, 2 hours, because some management Muppet decided that forklifts needed to go slower, so the forklift drivers out of spite went slower >:(

I thought the blue things at the start were your airbeds being put in to storage while the program was being filmed.  ;)

Our electric counterbalance were all reduced to 4mph due to too many near misses. The diesels/gas still go quite well outside though.  :y

Don't which bit you went to, but most FLTs on site are restricted to 3mph because the FLTs hadn't the wit to slow down inside the factory & go faster outside ..... so the cover all speed limit of most trucks to 3mph

Yes, did watch it. Thought it was pretty interesting and answered quite a few questions that I frequently lost sleep over, no not the meaning of life, how they seal a can while ensuring sterililty  ;D
