You've been mangoed!
Chris Hudson23/ 1/2008
MOTORISTS found themselves in a sticky situation when a lorry shed its 18-ton load of mango chutney, causing chaos on the roads yesterday morning (Tuesday).
Gallons of the popular Indian condiment spilled onto London Road (A523) by the Adlington bends, leading to major diversions and tailbacks across the area.

Is it really? I hope they go bust as they clearly don't put any effort into improving what they do and how they do it. 18 tons of mango chutney, chaos caused and the response is "its just one of theose things" - classic old school company response. Good that the gas leak was discovered, wonder how many other unfound gas leaks are lurking waiting to cause chaos? If that gas leak had caused more problems would Transco have replied "just one of those things" - if they had they would be slaughtered. Hauliers, a law unto their own.
