		Under the direction of Simon Budden, Mining Engineer, initial investigation revealed that damage to the roads appear to be caused by the regenerative braking of the trucks when unladen on the return to the bottom of the open cut, not on their climb to the top when loaded as one would have suspected.
		The intention was for Broons' Impact Roller to compact the subgrade of the road formation, reducing the surface movement or "haunching" beneath the unladen trucks.
		From their success in the Australian cotton regions over the last eight years, Broons have diversified into other agricultural applications including the extensive rice growing area in the NSW Riverina where excessive permeability of the soil is leading to increased salinity, forcing growers to abandon fields entirely.

		The Broons ("Scotland's Happy Family") are a cartoon clan - Maw, Paw and their eight offspring - who have appeared every week since 1936 in the Sunday Post.
		Like Dennis the Menace and the Bash Street Kids, the Broons never grow older, except for their baby girl, who has advanced from a few months old to maybe age four during the past 68 years.
		There can't be a handful of families left in Scotland who remotely resemble the Broons, yet they clearly speak to Scots in a way the druggies of Trainspotting, the willowy models of Caledonia, or even the loveable Highland lairds of film and TV cannot.

	New Statesman - Northside - Andrew Martin on the northern version of the Beano
		Oor Wullie and The Broons are comic strips that have appeared in the Sunday Post since 1936.
		From the Thirties to 1969, The Broons and Oor Wullie were drawn by Dudley Dexter Watkins, a dapper, evangelical Christian who was also the man behind Desperate Dan of the Dandy, and Lord Snooty of the Beano.
		Just as Desperate Dan inhabited (still inhabits, indeed) a perplexing limbo in which cacti sprout but the policemen are English bobbies, so the Broons and Oor Wullie live in a cosy, ostensibly pre-war Scotland into which modern phenomena occasionally float.

		Tonight's BBC Scotland documentary, Happy Birthday Broons celebrates the anniversary and lets fans like Muriel Gray, narrator Ewan McGregor and Elaine C Smith, who reckons they should be taught in schools, wax nostalgically about why they still have a special place in the hearts of Scots.
		Indeed, when they tried printing the Broons and Oor Wullie in colour in the 90s there were shoals of complaints from readers and they had to go back to fl and white.

		The Broons never swear, preferring to blurt out “Jings!”, “Crivvens!” or the rather more enigmatic “Help ma boab!” whenever they are startled or find themselves in a fankle.
