Has anyone gone to a site to be asked by the gateman "Where you from, how many kilometres did you bring load, what route did you use? and so forth? It’s happened to me several times, normally on school, and other public jobs. Not sure what the idea is but you get some funny looks when 2 of you pull up with the same thing and you give completely different answers.
I got stopped at a survey in London once and asked where I started my journey
“Danbury, Essex as it says on the door”
when asked where my destination was
“Danbury, Essex as it says on the door”
It stumped the bloke, he couldn’t work that one out.
Otherwise I make up improbable sounding places that I’ve just come from. Belle end or Upnor Down or somesuch.

Yes I went to a building site in Plymouth. The guy told me it was something to do with the carbon footprint so when he asked where I had come from I said Russia and when he asked where I was going I said Greece. He told me I was messing about so I said you put down what I said or leave it blank cos thats all the info you getting.
Bet that buggered up their carbon footprint!

We should have a cone shaped hat with a big D on it

Netto at S. Elmsall the hi-viz colour is to do with status and not safety. Try going in there with a yellow hi-viz and see what happens. Gatehouse tell you to take it off and give you an orange one because “only managers can wear yellow”. WTF. Thank God that place will soon no longer exist.

I did at this site with the hat incident actually. It displeased him greatly when he found out they’d sent a 26 toner with just his two pallets on and they’d come 100 miles.

I had that in Plymouth years ago, but they also asked me if I’d considered using another means of transport! I replied “Yes, but the bus driver wouldn’t let me on with 2 pallets of computer paper!” Cue a copper moving some cones and sending me on my way 
They had also stopped a bin wagon - even I could work out where he was going!

I was riding with Dad during school holidays many years ago when he stopped at a census. Dad told the guy Oxford despite blatantly facing the wrong direction and was asked about load he replied "(zb)it to the Swindon Honey Factory
