Started a new job today at Redmills. They asked me if I had a forlift license, which I had only for the Kombi trucks.

There were no kombi trucks so he puts me on a forklift which I have never drove before, and is totally different that what I have driven. I told him that I didn't know how to drive this one, in which he said he'll show me.

He was showing me what buttons was what and then he come to the forward and reverse buttons. My foot was on the pedal and when he showed me rreverse and pulled the handle down, not knowing my foot was on the pedal. The forklift when full speed backwards and straight through the wall. Didn't have time to press the brake as didn't know where it was, as it was in a different place to the one what I had driven before.

He can't dismiss you.

You can basically take him to a tribunal because

A) You don't have a FLT lisence
B) He forced you into doing it
C) He broke every health and safety rule in the book
D) - You don't have a lisence.

Meh.

Get as much money off them as possible.

Haha, good thinking. I once drove a quad into a friends garage door, but I was only about 10 at the time and he never told me where the brake was either.

Ha.

Can't script that.

Good story even if it did cost you a job.
