Nice bit of cutting too at 2.51 Think it must have been a bit embarrassing?

it isnāt that hard really, just like some places we have to go to, just as narrow for manouvering

and for those who donāt know The Discount Radio & Watch Co.
here is a couple of pics of their delivery point
the blue astra parked in the large space infront of the truck should not be parked there, it is for access into the loading bay for artics to turn into.
the pics show the trailer with 2 20ā shipping containers, the rear one is tipping there and the front one is for delivery to their other warehouse just off Tyburn Road
Itās lucky that he wasānt driving a wagon and drag because heād still be there now trying to put it on the bank.But at least he remembered to open the trailer doors before heād got it on there.
I was fortunate I didnāt have to back on the bay cos they were so busy, I was unloaded on the side of the road where the BMW and people carrier are in the first pic

Rumour has it he is an ex James Irlam driver
In my experience, iād say tandems are more difficult to back then tris, but on the other hand a 53ā trailer should back better than a 45.
Right enough, that place hasnāt enough manoeuvring room out front for that overall length.
As for the DAF & radio co. What the hello are they doing letting cars park opposite if they have regular artic deliveries? Clowns.

thatās exactly what I was thinking. He couldnāt have made more of a meal out of it if heād tried!
Worse one I can remember doing for some time is Morrisons store at Belper. Very tricky even in a Morrisons own tractor unit with the big window in the back of the cab as itās a very tight 90 degree blind side, but try doing it an XF with no rear window and the usual DAF pathetic steering lock.

there are notices on the wall stating no parking, access required between the signs, the problem occurs when some pleb in a car parks there before they open and walks off leaving the car there.
in the pics, there was just enough room for cars to pass between the front corner of my cab and the blue astra
Guess it will only be a matter of time then before a driver with a less than pristine truck leaves one or more of those car drivers a calling card.
