Today, John and I have been mostly driving this:



Two Class 1 drivers driving the sttiest little 7.5 tonner in the world. Seats designed by the Marquis de Sade, a stupid dog-leg gearbox with first gear down instead of up, no cruise control, wobblier than a very wobbly thing and bouncier than a bouncy castle. Oh, and limited to 52mph.

One kitchen to Dereham, Norfolk and another to Kings Lynn on the way back.

That's right kids, manual labour. I'm sure there's something in the Class 1 Constitution that forbids actual manual labour...

To be fair, it was ideally suited to the job. I believe the deliveries had been "failed" before, because they couldn't get a 15 tonner anywhere near the addresses.

That little thing got right up to the front door.

Sounds like a perfect job to me - 2 drops a day with a navigator/labourer smile
Navigator? No, my Sat Nag did that, John slept most of the way there - even brought a pillow with him.

(He did pull his weight on the deliveries though.)
