How do they do it? Watched a guy stuff his caravan, by hand, front first, down his drive wi about half an inch to spare. The gradient helped. No room to open his door, or get his wheely bin out.

And when he comes to use it, the mind boggles as to how he will exit his drive; the traffic is relentless!

More to the point, imagine the fun he ll have backing his rig off the road amidst all the parping horns and expletives. . .especially when more than one take is rquired! Now, my road is fairly quiet but I know how difficult this manoeuvre can be. This fella will have blind side reverse to contend with. .

You lot wi your movers will be feeling quite smug about this. Well, I would anyway. But its good to see someone doin it the old fashioned way.

I need to talk with him. He obviously knows something I dont, and should. . .

Have fun for ChristmS!

He's probably a lorry driver. If you can put a 44tonner where you want then you can do anything. The traffic just has to wait. F**** 'em all.

We have a busy road and a narrow drive (though plenty of room once past the house) .... mover is a godsend but some drivers have no patience.  99% are fine and happy to wait the couple of minutes for us to get in .... the 1% remaining are a pain but once part way through the operation we just carry on and the just have to wait.

We live on a cul de sac so not a lot of traffic but you can bet your life the min we start getting Van out half of them want to be out, as IanM says 99% are fine but there,s always one who wont wait and tries to go up the kerb as close as possible to the Van to get out , we have a mover so don,t take very long but they just can,t wait.

No problem! I don't think you can edit titles yourself, but Admin should be able to if you use the Report Post link, I imagine.
