Finally ensconced in our winter quarters. Shorts dug out of the bottom drawer and on for the next four months. Just stocked up with G & T, vino, oh and some food. Sun was already waiting for us. Now to chill out in the best way possible and its all to do with the weather.
Have attached a photo of our John Preece at the 87ish Baghdad International Trade Fair with his onsite transport. Not sure what license he would need to drive it but knowing John he would have one authenticated by Sami Sirricci or some other outlandish character.
On the trailer are just a few of the small exhibits or boxes of literature we handled for 90% of the companies at the the Fair. This was where the real money was made. We would have trailer loads of small consignments with a minimum charge of 1m3. Coupled with the charges for documentation and customs clearance both in and at the closing of the event meant they were good earners for the company. We didn’t bother much with one off full loads unless they were our regular customers as there wasn’t the profit margin there. We left that mainly to Davies Turner.
