Friday, not a  bad day at all, everything went well enough except for the last delivery.  It was a drop I hadn't done previously, after looking at the drop on Google maps I chose the most likely way in, one I could back out of reasonably safely and tried.  I had a choice, either take off several wing mirrors on my way in or back out.  I chose to back out which I accomplished, with due care, safely.  I had a look at the alternative way in as  I passed on my way back and didn't like the look of it.  Backing out of that entrance couldn't be done in safety unless I had someone watching.  Of course it may be that I could drive in, back up to the house, complete the drop and drive out safely but unless I am able to speak to the customer or find someone who knows the route I have no idea what the road is like.  I did try calling the customer but there was no one home, I'll try again on Monday.  I hate drops on housing estates you never know what the problems are until you get there and then it's often too late you're already in the s**t.  See you Monday.
