Gastines Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not quite sure if I should post this in" Shopping"or under "Worst Trips".In the news today .Waitrose in Poole Dorset are offering a delivery service by bike. A brilliant idea in the town's congested roads. Wish I'd thought of it first.Sir Alan might say "You're Hired".Unfortunately it reminded me of when I used to do trades bike deliveries for a Grocer and Greengrocers in Boscombe when in my very early teens. I had to deliver a box of cooked beetroot to the Green Park Hotel. Arriving after a strenous pedal up the hill of Manor road I was informed the order had been cancelled. About turn down the hill. Traffic lights on the main road crossing turn red.Brakes too hard to pull on quickly and travelling quite fast I managed to hit a Trolley bus smack bang in the middle,nearly changed.or ruined, my sex life and the cooked beetroot went straight up the side of the bus. Several screams from passengers who thought it was me spread everywhere and a nice square dent in the side of the bus where the carrier frame hit.Waitrose have had the sense to put the goods carrier at the back on a tow frame.Regards.
