Delivery Day Disaster


Christmas is fast approaching, hamper orders are increasing which in turn means deliveries - and lots of them!

Just this week we had a massive order of wine bottles delivered. The delivery guy came and delivered them to our front door in a barrow! Bless him, he did also help to bring them into the office!

The previous week we had a pallate of picnic hampers (with plates, wine glasses etc packed inside - see pic) delivered, this time Mr Delivery man was not so helpful.
We had two options (bearing in mind that "we" at the time were two smallish (in build) ladies and that we were wearing skirts).

1) to climb up onto the wagon and pass the "full" hampers to each other
2) try to persuade the forklift truck operators from Christian Salvesen (just next door) to give us a hand.

We decided option two was in our best interests. Off we went to ask for their assistance - which they very kindly provided.

So thanks to Christian Salvesen for helping to keep our dignity intact.
