I don’t think I’m Mr Popular…
Limited options though as Clacket lane was choca so headed straight to my drop location in Orpington. Got 7 cars off, left 3 for the morning as id used up all the spaces on the street.
Just want to get paperwork signed tomoz and out of here.

He unloaded and took all the remaining places in a street just to save 5 mins in the morning who is the prick? now let’s assume they are trade cars no tax on them as they are off the vehicle so off his firms insurance . And you wonder why we get moaned at . Certainly parts of Orpington I Wundt leave my car over nite . Then seems to be in glee that he probably ruined the shop keepers trade for the eve because it’s an Asian shop

Opposite He’s got a private shop car park that has been empty or had spare spaces the entire time. He said his customers were complaining, but they’re only moaning because they like something to moan about and it’d take them an extra 20 seconds to park in a bay as opposed to the street. It’s not something I like to do, and won’t do it here again, but last night I tried services which were full and was running out of options.

You got it. Isn’t everything posted on here ■■■■■■?

Actually, no it isn’t
Most of what’s posted on here is useful and informative
it’s the boring ■■■■■ who have to tell us what they had for tea and how many near misses they’ve had that ruin the good stuff
If the cap fits…
Chicken kievs…
With oven chips and peas.
Sounds like you unloaded 7 of a one hit drop, only leaving 3 on because the road was now full of your lorry and cars, correct?
Not something i would have done for several reasons, i’m presuming these are renters so taxed and insured, if not they aint taxed or possibly insured overnight like this so each one nickable either by the parking nazis or plod (if someone complains) or scrotes, or someone might just be ■■■■■■ off enough to key the lot whilst you sleep.
Unless the delivery point is gated, have you filled up their two or three outside spaces so when the cleaner/drivers arrived this morning they had nowhere to park either?
Quite apart from early morning bread and milk and other lorry deliveries to the shop you have blocked off who now have nowhere to park, possibly till 9am.
There could still be other issues, it wouldn’t be the first time that the office will receive a call from one of the airport or central london locations desperate for cars and you get diverted because those sites take priority every time, whoever you are dropping at they might have a compound/valeting shed half a mile away they want the cars delivered to, unless you’ve been there before you never know.
One other thing, you might find a complaint going in from the delivery point when the neighbours tackle them, they have to live with their neighbours all the time.
Generally if you do your best to live with consideration for others, life is a lot easier and more pleasant, there are some sites where noise is a problem for car deliveries yet i’ve seen some drivers smashing the skids onto the ground, maximum lorry revs for the PTO, driving the cars off the lorry fast as possible so the lorry shakes and rattles, as indeed does the ground when its Range Rovers and the like being loaded at breakneck speed.
I used to take a pride in being as quiet as possible where it affected others, still do on my present work, it isn’t the fault of other people they live beside industry, generally the people who do are just working class bods like us.
Just a few thoughts for you.
An anecdote for you, in my supermarket delivery days we used to deliver to an estate type shop in Thamesmead, it was a requirement you arrived without the fridge running cos neighbours, one day one of ours didn’t do so as was the case with one or two drivers, as he backed in a domestic fridge ‘fell’ from the top of the blocks of flats next door smashing to pieces on the ground and narrowly missing his head en route 
The whole issue looks like a shining example of the reason lorry drivers have the reputation of being awkward, arrogant, selfish thick as pigmuck arse wipes. Why put people’s backs up for the sake of a few minutes the next day? If the cars are damaged overnight the idiot will be posting on here warning others of the consequences of his actions.

Good points mate, its not something I will make a habit of, but tbh ive got one eye on my holiday next month and want to bang it in if I can. Yep they were renters. All turned out good. In fact the lads at the hire car place congratulated me for being the only driver that’d managed to get in on that road.

good for you mate…
but enough of this waffling pish about loading or unloading…what are you having for tea tonight,thats the important issue here…
A had a roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings but thats not the point.What other services did the asain shop offer is the real question.
Is it just me?
But what exactly is the rationale behind the title of this thread?
It bears no relevance to delivering cars, but well done on doing 70% of the job.
