Up and out to Kentish Town. Clutch went with one of my P/Ace Van Hire vans recently and it could’ve fucked a very important day completely, but they’re treating it like it’s my fault! Kept the deposit. I’m “waiting to hear”. I was expecting an apology or a partial refund for the dicked clutch – Rhys messaged me immediately about it but it took most of the day to die completely. Perhaps they are reserving their refund for now because another of the vans had a fucked shutter. Either way, not good business practice. So I went to H&H which aren’t so well located but, having recommended Pace countless times, I’m very much unimpressed by their entire handling of this so far. I’m going back to my old standard. I’m tempted to go to one of the bigger companies as I kinda really want a flip top door for the extra two inches of room to pull in a tall flight case wardrobe, and the fact that all the shutters are fucked. Here’s the van when I took it.
The job was largely favours. Christine’s stuff needed to go from me down somewhere safer so now it’s all in Canterbury. The whole contents of her flat. She was evicted. My downstairs neighbour. I’m trying to help. Hopefully I won’t have it all for too long.
Then to Kingswood house to pull a huge great big oven out of a greenhouse. We wrestled it onto the tail lift and it came down with us, now it’s in Canterbury too for Brian. I’ve got big storage units while I look for a warehouse. I can do this stuff for people.
Then off. To Kent where an alien sarcophagus needed moving with a bunch of heavy boxes from Faversham to Canterbury where now it sits and will start to cost me until I find a damn ground floor warehouse space, 1-1.5k sq foot, maybe an office mezzanine, maybe plumbed, in my budget. I’ll find it, I’ll have to, but it ain’t gonna be easy with all the other shit I have to do and the fuckery of estate agents.
I’m back in town now, van went home no trouble, maybe Pace will pull their socks up here but so far the only communication we’ve had has been driven by me and I’m not happy about it.
