The most peculiar feeling in the world is when...........
you see your stuff FLOATING AWAY IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES DOWN SOUTHAMPTON WATER ON A BOAT THE SIZE OF A VILLAGE! :scared:
Our container's on this bleedin' dirty great big mutha', lucky enough to live only 20 mins away to give it a wave this afternoon, does this put me in the same category as train & plane spotters? I wasn't wearing a greasy overcoat....................honest
Still can't work out which one's ours though
See attached "boatie" photos for added sadness.

Why when someone does a post on shipping, does someone else alway post pictures of damaged/sinking containers Its just like spider threads almost always end up with a picture of a huge spider on a bog roll
