No mate, will be collecting from Swindon, i am doin 1st collection tomorrow when I am done at new B&Q RDC in Stratton st Margaret, it’s supposed to be just around the corner from there.

Even 20 pallets is still gonna take an hour or 2.

Its still in the old ELC place on South Marston then.Come out of B+Q,straight over 2 roundabouts and its on youre left.
Spitfire cafe on the estate is worth a shout if youve got time :sunglasses:
Ps - hope youve got a tailift to unload at the shops?

Thanks for the heads up on where the place is, will give that cafe a go, will have to have a 45 after B&Q, plenty of Parking space at cafe??

Thanks again, hope this cafe is upto scratch, don’t fancy having the runs all the way back to Yorkshire lol

Been delivering to there when my company was doing some building work there, very annoying security guys, you go to the intercom ask them to open the bareer for you and before you are back behind the wheel it closes :wink:

Bit over the top for a Cafe imo

the entertainers is in the blue section of the metro center, upstairs near kfc & vission express. easiest way to get to it coming from the south is to take the turn off befor the metro center sign posted dunston & wickham, turn right at the lights & follow ur nose all the way to a mini roundabout you will pass under a bridge & behind the old fed bruwery. at the mini roundabout turn left, go straight through the traffic lights you come against & u will come to the loading area for the blue mall.

well, that went nice and smooth, found the place nice and easy, thanks for the directions suedehead. i got a munch out of that spitfire cafe as well, only had a sausage baguette and coffee to take away, i noticed the clamping notices on the lampposts so didnt wanna chance sitting in for a fry up. spoke to the woman in the cafe and she told me where i can park if i come in future. grub was nice so will be goin again.

on another subject, the entertainers depot is run by norberts, i couldnt believe how old the units are that they use on that contract, S reg and X reg merc actros in ND colours and 2 56 reg DAF CF hire units.
