Really had a good laugh reading of your experiences on the removal game. It brought it all flooding back to me. I moved to Sweden at the end of '76 and one of the first driving jobs I did was for a Stockholm removal company. Their main contract was with the Swedish Embassy and did all their Embassy staff removals all over Europe. Unfortunately they also did many ‘ordinary’ removals in and around the Stockholm area which being the ‘new boy’ I tended to cop. I can relate to all those stories you have already mentioned. I thought it was an awful job! Luckily (in some respects), I did my back in whilst on one job and after visiting the doctor, he told me that I should pack the job in straight away…I took his advice!!!
My hat goes off to all those who have ever done removals!!
