y6ou trolley drivers dont know whats tight untill you’ve delivered to building sites
I have spent this week doing bulding sites every day. I know exactly what you mean. 
Fortunately I don’t have to do RDCs, but Bedford steels in Sheffield tiiping inside the factory was more than a little tight. As you reverse in off the road when you’re in the factory your wheels brush the machines at both sides. No room for a shunt either.

I nominate Lynx’s yard at Loanhead. there you had half inch between the trailers and you did have to wind the legs down and it was that tight you had to use the trailer next to you push the trailer round.
Half an inch between the trailers 
.
Things are getting easier in there then 
I was doing a night trunk to the Inverness depot (quite a few years ago), getting back to Loanhead at about 2pm. I was told to put my trailer in that space there. I struggled to get it in, for at least 15 minutes but it just wasn’t going to go in. One of the full time drivers came over and offered to help. He rammed the furthest away trailer, to move it over an inch or two, then screwed my trailer into the slightly bigger space and levered the front of the nearest trailer over an inch or two. It was then possible to get the back of my trailer into the space.
To get the trailer onto the bank he just kept pushing. Pop-rivets were popping all the way in. 
No wonder I couldn’t get it in, I was trying to do it without touching the trailers on either side. Not the easiest of things to do there, even when there is space between trailers.

Thats the 1 simon tight isn’t it.
That Inverness trunk is great though isn’t it all that scenery, snow in the middle of July, deer running in the middle of the road at drumochter, the sun rising over the grampian hills, sheer bliss.
Now if you want to talk tight, I used to deliver furniture to shops in town centres with a forty foot trailer, some of the places of the places I had to get in to would make you cringe.
Little back streets, car parks full of cars one way systems. There was one drop I used to do occaisionally was in a office block in the City of London right in the middle of a roundabout and the only time you could get in safely was between the hours of 3am and 4am even then you run you gauntlet.
first you went round the 1 way system then do a uturn to face the traffic and then reverse into a loading baythat 8’2" wide now that was tight.
I seem to have wandered into an alternate “monty pythonesque” reality…
Tight? TIGHT? Thats nowt lad! when i were young…
(b+q grantham was a right pain!, but i`ve heard the “finger bays” at british gypsum are worse)
I would say a good contender are British Gypsum at East Leake with their finger bays, or an auctioneer at Stockport near Tesco’s who flog our seconds (and then some). They don’t put us on the regular bays if anyone knows it, they put us down the ramp .
