Following from the ladder story, I now had two large ladders taking too much space. The shop told me not to worry about packaging as I originally let DX dispose of the original packing. Collection schedueled for today!

Driver initially ok but then he realises the size of it, starts making excuses. Says its not packaged and he needs to phone his boss They refuse to take it so I say if they come back later it will be packaged.
They phoned and told me, it was just too large to take mid shift with a half full van and lots of other collections after, so asked me to package it, and another driver will come with an empty van.

So, set about packaging. Initially I was going to duct tape a bag to either end, but realised I had the huge old TV box, along with polystyrene, taking up space. Polystyrene is aweful stuff - wouldnt be so bad if it was standard shapes instead of being formed to each item. Broke the PS up into chunks to go inside and wrapped large peices on the end and sides.

Driver pulled up just as I finished tho it could have done with more tape and cardboard around the top.

They replicate the little top hat stud things for the moulding clips

I didnt obey the forum rules though as I could probably have bought a proper tool to weld the things on for £500

Yebbut, it only needs to catch on, and some dumb fekwit will not clip on properly.
Splat.
Investigation.
Sore arrises all around.

Had to replace some of those for a plastic sill moulding, I just cut the heads of some old nails which were almost the perfect size and welded them in with the mig. Yes I'm a heathen.

Sad news. Lidl's Ridge Cut Bacon flavour crisps, of the Meaty Multipack are no more. Prawn flavour is not quite the same

While I could protest, buying something else for example, instead I bought four multipacks for proper testing .
