Today saw our first near-accident. A delivery driver who appeared to be incapable of manoeuvring his lorry tried to offload three pallets of tile cement. In a series of moves reminiscent of Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em, he narrowly missed hitting our wall, six large sheets of expensive porcelain and packs of tiles in what we refer to as the Cox Reclamation Yard. Eventually, in an attempt to get the bags of cement unloaded, he dropped a full pallet and the pallet-lift off the back of the lorry where everything broke, split or shattered. Mark had been standing nearby, looking at his mobile, but mercifully looked up at just the right moment and managed to jump clear. So lucky that no one was hurt, though Chris’ Jag sustained a minor injury to the paintwork. We weren’t here but it was all caught on our CCTV.
