Until i read the last comment, i though “Jesus, it’s mary bloody poppins!”
I’ve got too much crap in mine. Seeing as i’m essentially our Depots spare driver and can end up doing anything from bank runs in a Kangoo to night trunks in an 18 tonner, i’ve got the associated junk for each job.
Unlike the couriers who have their own motor or the trunkers who just carry a small bag with a coat and flask in.
