Coming back to the right side of the Thames tonight, I spotted a Vauxhall Victor in the other lane and awaited my chance of a snap. When stopped I got a shot of the Victor and didn't realise there was a 1600E cortina alongside it. A coincidence shot?

16 foot 2? Are you driving a double decker?
Is it bridges under 16' or 16'6 that need to be marked?

16.6" it'll be a double Decker, some double deckers are very very close to motorway bridge height!

Sort of. There's a moveable deck at the arse-end of the trailer.

Measured with the measuring stick, they're actually nearer 16', but you've always got to add a couple of inches to any measurement, right?

Why, do you have a few pallets of something weird or is that just some random strange add on someone asked for?

It's just some random strange add-on someone asked for.

I'm sure they knew what they were doing.

If its an adjustable deck, then it will allow for more flexibility on the size and shape of goods carried - with a retailer such as Wickes I could imagine quite a useful feature.

Well yes, but most of them are over the swan neck or in the middle. Having a movable deck just on the arse is a bit of a weird concept, i though there might be some strange reason to spec that smile
