Very sad indeed

Always a nice bunch of folks
Not good jobs been lost but lets be honest CIL was a friggin nitemare to deliver to collect from 99% of the time, a few different companies have run the CI ships so hopefully if the work is there somebody can take it over…[emoji106][emoji106]

Have had a few jollies at the Channel Islands. Was amazed at the Ferraris and Lambos thatyou see over there. Most of the roads are twenty miles an hour and the towns are very congested ,you can walk faster than the cars.
Jersey turned into a nightmare a few weeks back for two of our guys. The ferries banned foot passengers so they had to leave there trucks and the port for someone else to drive on, fly to London, get a hotel, then a train down to Portsmouth only to find out the trucks were not loaded, another hotel and then the trucks turned up on the next boat.
A friend of mine in the CI recently bought a jag f-type…its currently gathering dust outside his flat…[emoji26][emoji26]
