A strong source told me recently Briggs are after Barlows post office contract. Something to do with Briggs supplying some cheap Chineese machines, can't remember story exactly. Any one heard anything? Barlows are on their back side as it is this is the last thing they need!!!!!

Brian_J, give Easy_M a break too, he is from the Carolinas, he was sincere, I am sure.
Sometimes English is more than 3 different languages.
We (in the Carolinas) may not be speaking "English", sometimes what we speak might better be called speaking "Dixie", but we think it is you who has the accent, especially when you type.
A bit more about the story of this post is that Briggs are going to try and supply Doosan machines to the post office (from South Korea I've been told) through their sister company Birchwood (As in what used to be LEX Birchwood). I spoke to a Briggs engineer today who hadn't heard anything about the post office contract but there are lots of talk about the Doosan machines within the company.
Also sold 6 machines February and 8 machines March so lets hope thing's are picking up!!!!
The guy is Dutch, give him a break at least he is trying to speak the mother tongue
All fairy tales do not believe the post is still and remain in the hands of Baloworld. Well product and especially good service that tells the field.

Spoke to a Barlow engineer today and he told me that he and all the other engineers have nothing/very little to do and their sitting around. Also by the end of April they are making engineers redundant.
No I am not getting at Engineers or at any particular Branch of the industry,
Just think that the poor wages has attracted some ******** that find ways of making money, other than give good service,
I really am agreeing that all those stupid deals that were done for " volume " are taking their toll.
I did say there are many good people, Even very good people, but the others have brought down the whole industry,
Anyway sorry you are having a bad day , relax you or I won't solve it have a pint and go home.
Good luck.
ALL the usual suspects have been at it for years and now we are all paying the price.
If you want to know how "not to behave in business" all you need to do is examine the forklift industry.
Prices have been on a downward spiral since the 1970's along with wages and the quality of people attracted to it. Yes of course there are many good guys but it has attracted a lot of ******** who would not know their Ar** from their elbow.
Barlow won this contract from Linde in an internet auction at prices Linde could not live with. The rumours I hear are that Barlow are losing their shirt on it.
and I was just "talking out my butt" with all the first hand knowledge, authority and expertise about this subject that I figure the OP had.
the world is not a pretty place at the moment. payday tomorrow though
Another rumour, and before everyone shoots the messenger again it's just what I've heard that Linde are about to announce redundancies. Any one know anything?
oh ok. it,s been one of those ars* days. nothing going right (_)(_)
not me mate. member of the black hands gang me
Same difference!!! A 2 year old could understand what I was saying. But then again your spelling and punctuation has a lot to be desired!!!
contract is with ROYAL MAIL,, different company. this isn,t the place to start slagging things you know nothing about
Don't post if you don't know what your talking about. I'm in various Post Office depots every week and all the trucks have on the side of them "On hire from Barloworld" and an engineer is usually standing at the side of it!!! Unless Barloworld have put them there and forgot about them which is well within their capabilities. They also maintain the tow trailers and some of the floor cleaners. Linde still have a fair few trucks in allot of depots though but they never have an engineer stood next to them.
your sourse is great. barlow don,t have a contravt with the post office.
