Too late, I was near Shanghai at a new steel mill in the mid 1990s.
The colour of the atmosphere was linked to the day of the week. I
once saw a two-axle truck with about 150 tons of steel roll on the back,
and it still drove! How far it went down the road, I have no idea, but
I had visions of it sitting there looking as though it was having a
****, after the axle broke in two.
Then there was the goods bicycle with a load of pre-plucked chickens,
etc etc.

Shudder.

Davey.
