[Rich & Kaz]

Sorry to go on 1 here...not normally my scene..we all like the easy going life dont we? but every now & then something comes up that makes you go...... !!!

We've had whats left of our posessions in storage in London for the last 2 years after leaving there for Florida, Sheffield yada yada yada etc etc ...

I paid £1160 for them (who shall remain nameless, unless you really wanna know!...ask!) to ship our gear to Miami... now it wasnt alot of stuff, more personal, not large, no furniture, white goods etc ...

When I told them we're now moving to Tenerife, guess what they said, apart from 'We dont go there!'.... they said that Tenerife isnt really a popular place for container ships & people to go to... & when they worked out the price...(wait for it......) they said it would cost me another £316 ON TOP of the £1160 i'd already paid them 2 years ago.... because they would have to employ another line to take out the gear & because Tenerife isnt a popular destination for shipping, this is what makes it more expensive than moving to the USA!!!!! ...... WHAT A LOAD OF
I've since spoken to another company who for the amount i'm sending over (<100cf), will do it all for a couple of hundred pounds.....

This week we've had it re-delivered back to me here.... (hence Kaz at the car boot sale with her parents today trying to flog some!! lol)

amazing isnt it?..... sorry to go off like that ..... hopefully wont happen too much!!!

If anyone else had crazy, inflated, rip off, pirates, Dick Turpin, Robin Hood stories to tell..... please do!! lol
