Default Crown have taken all our stuff

Well, Crown have been in today and taken all our worldy possessions They arrived at 10 and got straight to work, finishing just after 4. We went through and double-checked they hadn't missed anything, then as the lorry pulled up the road, we found a couple of bits Nothing major so we didn't bother chasing them.

They seemed very efficient and certainly earned their money (and copious amounts of tea, coffee and ham sarnies ). Then within half an hour of them leaving, I received an invoice for nine quid because I had underpaid All in all I'm happy so far, though obviously there is a long way to go in every sense.

I'll keep you posted.

Are u sure it was Crown???? I heard a rumour that there’s a gang posing as shippers. The come and collect all your gear then hawk it at a car boot sale. Did u check the back of the truck to see if the four real removal men where tied up? No I bet not, you just fed the with tea
its nice to hear things are still moving along for ya



DISCLAIMER: this is a joke, please don’t all start to panic about your furniture !!!!!!
