That one reminds me of some of the things that have happened "on the way home" following a successful day at the Hilditch Auctions.

In one case I knew of, an operating table smashed through the rolling shutter of a Luton van, and was only stopped from ending up on the M1 motorway by the (folded) tail lift. whistle

In days gone by (thankfully) I have spent many a happy hour helping (or at least, advising) blokes loading up their vans (cars, horse boxes, whatever) at Malmesbury; but as we all know, some folk just won't listen! frown

And (reminded as I am about Charity Groups) - perhaps I should add:- I have often wondered what state some of that donated kit was in when they opened up the Container out in ... wherever. Especially when remembering how much time and effort had gone into getting most of it into a state worth shipping in the first place.

Not that we can blame FedEx et al for any of that, of course. smile
