...Hi Guys...
This was a story on The Scottish News last night...
A Polish Truck Driver who was delivering 300 new Shopping Trolleys to the new Lidl store in "Shiskin Avenue" in Maryhill, Glasgow actually delivered them to the tiny Hamlet of "Shiskin" on the "Island of Arran", around 30 miles further West...The Trolleys were being brought from Eastern Europe...
This journey involved an extra Return Ferry Fare of £400.00. which the driver paid...On arrival in "Shiskin" he found only a few houses & not even a village shop...never mind a Supermarket
He later realised his mistake & delivered the Trolleys to "Shiskin Avenue", Maryhill, Glasgow a day or two late...
The shops spokesman said..." We are Opening another new store in Barbados Drive, Glasgow next week...I hope the driver doesn,t get it wrong again"...
Dont you think that the shop got it wrong in the first place by buying their new Trolleys from Eastern Europe & not from a Brittish Manufacturer...Or is there nobody in the UK with the facilities to make these complicated peices of machinery...
Maybe this explains why a Shopping Trolley doesn,t go where you want it to go...It doesn,t understand a Bloody Word that you are screaming at it...
...Best Regards...Norry...
