1990 Taking Radar Equipment from Harlow to Zurich Airport £3000.
Groupage back to Rainham Essex £900 Happy Days !.Left on Monday
Back Thursday morning.
About 4 yrs ago, booked in to do two local runs, £180 each trip.
Company I was working for were installing new computer system and got it wrong.
The yard where I was loading from was 300 yrds from my house, so I booked in at 6.00am and sat there untill breakfast, and then walked home for my breakfast.
Waited until miday and walked home for lunch. When I got back I was told nothing would be loaded today, and was told to put an invoice in for £360.
The beauty of it was that I used to park in the same yard, so I never even started the motor.
Creamey !
