Another even longer week

The weeks seems to be getting longer with all these nights out and I am unable to even write the blog these days. I wrote some of this on the bay but most of it on Saturday watching England being taught a lesson ion football by Brazil OOpps but Brazil just missed a penalty!!!!

My last drop and its only 11 am , well done you might think , but ...

I have been in the Asda line at Doncaster for 20 minutes and not even got through the gate yet, even worse luck, I'm not booked in until 2pm So I might get pushed to the back again when I finally get to the gatekeeper. I arrived at the gate and after another ten minutes looking for my secure delivery on their paperwork ( it was that secure even they couldn't find it) I was in.

Now, in only means you are allowed to wait inside instead of outside but I have struck lucky because I am being allowed to wait on a bay.

I will let you know how long it takes to unload these two pallets of very important goods .

I was out in around an hour which is pretty good for this Asda.


I was on Wood delivery duty and this meant delivering to tiny farms and lumber yards around the Oxfordshire countryside.



The last place was tucked away but I found it and it turned out to be massive.

What I didn't expect to find was an abandoned boat.

I found an old red bull truck tucked away.


I was out for a few nights this week and all the places I have been seem to of blended into one.

This is the truck when converted into my home.


I was asked to deliver here in Melton, the poshest drivers room you have ever seen.

Its a shame they were the rudest as well.

I made the comment that there was a lot of signs telling you what Not to do but none actually telling you where to go and what To do.
It didn't go down to well and I sat for a lot longer than I would of done If I had of kept my mouth shut.

This polish truck had been there so long he had dropped his beer can.

They did have some really nice kit though. Old classic stuff,even the shunters were well kept.




I started and finished at our Thatham depot twice this week and had to make my way to Harwich once as well.

I found this car of the week at the customers.
Scrap tractors and heavy haulage were the best things I saw on a boring drive back to Base and then.Probably the easiest drop in the world...


I was back to base on Friday morning and was doing a few local pickups when I found this transporter and wondered how it misses the roof of the car underneath.


As I sat waiting to be loaded for my last days delivery's I watched this bin lorry at work,

A little while later a man came over and asked me if I had seen anyone hit the down pipe on his building?

It was pulled off when he lifted the other bin up next to me, I said "no mate, sorry" !
