Driving and delivering again today, seed dressing on Monday. Why Monday, I'll have clean overalls on Monday and it'll be a full change for Tuesday. You wouldn't believe how itchy you can get from cereal dust and it clings to cloths like you wouldn't believe so it's into the wash with them on Monday night and only one day of wear, a poor start to the week if ever there was one. But back to today. The deliveries were for Carlton store and area plus three for Beverley area just to add spice to my day. I haven't been to Beverley area for nearly two years so I had to look up all the drops even though I have done them before, that is all except one and that proved difficult. The last drop was a consignment of gassing pellets used for the control of moles. When I found the address there was no one home and when I finally contacted the customer he was in London and he didn't want the goods at the delivery address on my delivery note. He gave me a contact number for a man who would take delivery. This left me deeply unhappy, the pellets are extremely dangerous and as the delivering driver the responsibility for the safe and correct delivery is mine and mine alone. In the end I wouldn't take the risk, if anything had gone wrong and the delivery had ended up in the wrong hands I would have been held responsible. The goods went back to the store and are now locked back in the appropriate place. It was the only way I could proceed and cover my back. But apart from that everything went well and I was back in the yard by five. See you Monday.
