Can’t think why

Yes Mr Beezle, but I’m still in, getting my load extracted slowly.
I had to go into 3663 in Reading a couple of days back, and before I started I was told that an ES driver had the record with 34 shunts! 
I needed 4 shunts to get on bay 4! 
Then they found that the ramp was broken and I had to get on bay 3… 
I improved, as I managed that one with 3 shunts
That place is like a goldfish bowl with everyone facing each other! 
Lol!! I have been walking round Dubai Nowak, calling myself Al Beaver Rashid Stobartum.
Worked too! I got two locals in one of the mall’s to believe I was an English lord, who had links to a Saudi royal family. Then I saw some security guards coming my way and pointing. Turned round and noticed Mrs Beaver had changed, and put her Daisy Dukes on.
Time to leave.
Waiting in a queue to load, first day on the job, no clue as to where I had to go. I spotted another of our lorries further back, so asked him if he would help by simply putting the notes in the order he would deliver them. He took the notes, riffled through them and said " They’ve given you a right ■■■■■■■ there. Do what I had to do - find them yourself!"
I’ve never been to Tesco Hatfield. Is it worse than the bay’s near the drivers waiting room at the old Tesco Harlow? I used to hate going there as there was always trailers opposite the bays.
I’ve never really struggled that much at Hatfield. And been going there since I was a newbie. It’s a bit tight, but I’ve been to worse. Purfleet can be a bloody nightmare some days, when despite the size of the place, folk start abandoning stuff here there and everywhere.
ROG:
If in doubt ASK FROR HELP - every timeBetter that and perhaps have a bit of embarrassment rather than hit something and be really embarrassed and looking VERY stupid
Exactly, you did the right thing.
Tibbet and Brittain/Sainsbury Hackbridge, Not been for years but that was one of the tightest i’d seen.
Had my second visit to Hatfield and TBH it didn’t look quite as bad second time around - mind you I think I got allocated the easist bay (bay 16) at the place! Slotted it home no problem then walked back to despatch singing “what a difference a bay makes”.
