Sex Toys???????

Today was a brief run from the yard up to Swindon, although the timing couldn't have been worse with the usual M27 / M3 morning traffic becoming a real headache after 10 minutes. By the way, you can check the traffic situation on any English motorway here, Traffic England and for North of the border, Traffic Scotland. 

Anyway, the 40' box was full of musical instruments and once they'd been hand-balled off it was an easy run back to Pentalvers in Southampton to have the empty box off loaded. 

Pentalver's Yard, Southampton

A quick call to the office to get them to send me through a VBS number so that I could load a box for tomorrow and then off to Transfer Area 3. 

Now, we all had to learn how to drive at some point and we all struggled with reversing an artic with a 40' trailer, but I have to say I saw the worst attempt at reversing in nearly 20 years. Reversing into a slot in one of the three transfer areas in Southampton is pretty easy, but this chap was making such a mess of it that drivers on either side were stood agog and dumb struck at the sheer incompetence. I can only say I was so aghast at how bad his reversing was that I completely forgot to get a photograph. I really hope I was never that bad!!!

Anyway, I digress. The new box was duly loaded and I trundled back to the yard, it was only when I got into the office that I looked at the paperwork for where I was going. Ann Summers. Does that mean that I'll be a hauling a 40' High Cube container full of sex toys tomorrow? The mind boggles. I'll leave that thought in your minds and I'll certainly be updating on more detail later. Take care.
