Yesterday I had the experiance of delivering to a few stores for a well known supermarket. First one wasn't that bad, just off the A217 with a decent back area. Had to hang about for a bit as the backdoor man was a bit flushed. Then back for a break and a new trailer for a second delivery. This one was a bit more difficult as it involved driving through Ealing Broadway and avoiding the 'blind' pedestrians who insist on trying to step out in front of you even when the lights are on green. Got to the point and then the drive into the basement began, bloody tight at the entrance, then a nice and wide turning and then back on to the dock. Nice 12 hour day.

Today I didn't even make it in, the M3 was at a standstill, when finally I got going the J11 on the M25 was queuing so went to J10 and wished i didn't. A queue for about 1 mile just to get of and then the same queue to get to the next exit for Weighbridge. Total standstill, sat in this infernal queue for about 2 hours and finally decided that enough is enough. When I finally managed to turn around I wasn't in the best of moods. Managed to get home at around 1115, not bad since I left at 7am.  Drove around for the best part of 5hours and achieved absolutelly nothing except wasting diesel.
