That picture reminds me, it must have been 20 years ago now. We weren’t supposed to put 3 heavy cages on the tail lift, but no this manager at, I think, Tesco Cambridge was a hurry up merchant, he wanted three. Well, the 3rd cage had a wonky wheel and when that hit the gap between the body and the tail lift over it went…wines and spirits. That messed up his turnaround time big time.

I’ve done that work paddy with tesco ( and No I didn’t think a lot of it ) , cages of beer , pop , the shop staff were meant to take it from the tail lift to the shop , but you couldn’t expect a 16/17 yrs old girl or any women come to that do it , I’d do it for them for a cuppa tea , imagine if a cage of beer went over on one of them
No as I’ve said I’ll sit on my ass preferably
I had a dolly of Coca Cola go over the back plates on the tailift at tesco lincoln , I shouted shop chap to run , he stood there , bottles hit the ground and sprayed everywhere , he was soaked
Next day where did they send me , the look on his face , Not you again 
I certainly wouldn’t no haha. I don’t miss cages. The toolstation ones were never too heavy but some of tesco ones like them were ridiculous for a skinny dude like me.
Fair play to yous that do it, can see why if you like the excercise. Dealing with joe public too 
I’ll stick to the quiter life on nights ha
The worst thing I found about the express store deliveries was the cages of rubbish , especially if the trailer was full to the back doors , you’d tip your 5 cages then have to put 5 cages of rubbish back on , then next store you’d have to try and move the 5 cages of rubbish out the way to get to the next lot of delivery cages , in the end after 3 deliveries you’d have to stop & try and get the rubbish on the headboard , pain
When I tramped out of Goole I’d often do 2 x double deckers to bury & a single deck to somewhere ( rarely got back on 3 rd run ) , what’s that 200 cages of beer etc , then put empty’s back on
I’d struggle with one single deck load these days , I guess when your younger / fitter it might appeal , but not now for me
Been stitched up today, meant to be doubled up again easy day before my 4 off. About to go to travis Perkins and got a call to get in asap. Going to pissing Birmingham to do one of their runs. Think I’ll be nighting out
