puzzling question...

A sort of blokey questions though if a lady has the answer I'd be delighted to hear it....


Cement mixer lorries, you know the type, the ones with continuously rotating barrel on the back with the load of congealed grey porridge on the back around the spout.

How the bloody hell do they clean out the insides of these things? Ever mixed cement in a wheelbarrow and left it a couple of hours before trying to clean it? nightmare.

I was in a traffic jam behind one of these things thinking about that interspersed with thoughts of sex every few minutes (cause thats what we blokes think about, apparently....)

It really bothered me, do they just chuck a load of gravel and water in and swirl it round very fast before getting the barrel to spew it out again? if so doesn't that make a whacking great mess everywhere and isn't it bad for the environment?

So who knows how to clean out a cement mixer lorry........answers appreciated please........

I spoke with a mate who works in the building industry and he said that they inject some solution into the lorry sometime shortly before they are due to eject the cement (if there is going to be a delay, traffic jam, etc, they postpone the injection). Apparently the design is so good that the cement tips out quite cleanly.

Don't get me started on disabled parking bays! I am disabled and - come Saturday afternoon - ALL the local supermarket's parking places are occupied (usually by Jade Goody and the like.
