Are troajan. Quicksand is something I have worked with, and as such I am on firm ground. In my travels it is a thing I have come across when developing ways of working for grave diggers. There is some particularly nasty patches over Dagenham grave yard as it goes. Dig away, them do, then they find themselves sinking, you have to be careful when yer digging holes. It’s a hydrogel and can be sand, silt or clay.... it gets with trapped water and if it’s all loose, yer got quicksand. Sometimes its got firm stuff on top and you don’t realise then it gives way and off yer go. A couple of the fellas had a close shave with it. And where they dig the graves to go on top of another, as they get down the original has been obsorbed off somewhere, just like posts on the bb really, So we don’t wsnt no nasty quicksand at our mines, but I didn’t see none and I suppose I am a bit more expert on that than some. Surprisingly varied is me work to be fair, did I tell you I am a Radiation Protrction Officer? Radioactive stuffs in yer mining substances can also be a problem, but we ain’t got none of that either. However, we do have a bloomin great open cast mine with just straight forward blowing up, gathering up and tipping into machinery that could achieve very high levels of production. Some of the people involved believe it could get as low as €65 per mtu. It’s like owning s gold mine, but we already do own one of them as well.....oh did I mention the copper.
