I fundamentally disagree with your comment, in reality they have taken the UK transport industry to a high more professional level and may they do it with the car transport industry as well!

Well you’ve got to hand it to the “fast eddie” gang,they’ll focus onto any traffic that hasn’t been totally [zb] up(previously by them)!!Obviously they see Auto movement as “virgin territory” but just,maybe,they may have taken “that step too far” unless,of course,they make a takeover bid for ECM,and as Larry says they do have an vorocious appetite for debt ( Tell me about it WRM et al!!).I don’t believe that you can be into “everything” and succeed,Logisicts (hold the nose!) Wharehousing,Rail,Airports ( well little ones!) Fuel,Bulk bio wood chips,and now Car delivery!! You hum it Son and I’ll play it!! Look what happened to Hanson Industries and also Sir James Goldsmith !! However,the Chuckle brothers must think they can keep a “few metres” in fron’t of the financial avelanche that is following them,best of luck Lads !! Cheers Bewick.

Good grief I agree with every word of this. When I tell people that in my opinion they are living on borrowed time one of the things I bring up is the Hanson comparison. The other is their insane amount of new vehicles. Every one i see seems to be new. I think their vehicle buying policy is insane and unsustainable.

Tink isn’t a Mormon,he’s worse than them lads!!!,he’s a native of the Eden Valley and natives of that part of the World could learn the boys from Salt Lake City a thing or two ,believe me !! Where do you think the biggest gathering of “Travelling folk” in the World takes place every year ? Yea,The Eden Valley !! say no more !! I speak from first hand experience having ran my Horses at Appleby Harness Races for a good number of years e.g. how come was it that every heat our horses were “balloted” into was always the “hotest” of the day that was usually faster than the Final !! Dodgy as a “nine bob” note,and they’ed give the change in “threes” !! Bewick.

Well if they have they are just chucking good money after bad, how long is going to take to get a return on any investment to do with ESL, I wonder ■■?, Regards Larry
