7tructions: Tilt cab; forget to tell fitter to remove driver's seat.
Place one of driver's wellies on dash in front of steering column.
Remove and replace damaged pipe.
After checking work, instruct fitter to lower cab.
Assist fitter with location of left-hand rear locking bolt. Carry out final inspection after cab locked in position. Instruct fitter to check all wheel nuts, then go home. Lock vehicle but first ask fit.er where wellie is. Fitter re)lies: "(Expletive deleted) here it is jammed between he instrument panel and the ivindscreen." (9) Wellie removed by brute force. Windscreen pops out for only quarter of its length.
Conclusion: Never use Wellie to remove Bison windscreen.
