...at the opening of the new 'straddle carrier' arena at Lyttlton, way back when it was ''container' time the dignataries and management were all seated for the big display, the brand spanking new straddle lifter came out, did a pirouette and one of it's wheels fell off...made in India...dampening moment...the management bluffed their way through, as always...
