Suppose its a result of working at places that ran him ragged. He probably couldn’t compute that he was given 18hrs to load up and get to Swindon because he’s spent so many times setting off after he should have already been there and chasing his own backside.

Are you saying that the delivery date was on the delivery note? And that you don’t know how the 24 hour clock works?

That is exactly what he appears to be saying… perfectly reasonable really, I mean who actually would expect dozy to be able to tell time?

Obviously not his new boss now anyways…
