So Generous, So Sharing

Hardly anybody ever reads my other blog and I've just got tagged on it so as I've taken a lot of trouble compiling my post I thought I'd provide a link.

Afraid I haven't tagged anyone as you lot don't let on about your other blogs.

Who'd A Thought It?

I posted a true story the other day about Chep pallets. It amused me because Chep phone-torture us almost daily about the amount of pallets we have (about six) and to arrange their (hardly ever) collection. You’d think we were Mr Sainsbury or Mr Tesco, with millions of the bloody things, to hear them go on. Then you see them stacked in their thousands on eleventh night bonfires just waiting to go up in smoke at about a cost of £7 a unit to the likes of Bert, Mr Sainsbury, Mr B&Q and the rest. You get your £7+ back when the pallets are returned but what if they’re not returned due to being used as kindling to burn the toxic tyres which culminate in the burning of the tricolour, Pope Benedict, Gerry Adams, Monica Digney effigy or whatever demon of the day is currently in vogue… lots of 7 quids up in smoke.

These bonfires are an expensive business for all of us and not just the users of the blue pallet handling service. And that was my well-disguised point.

But despite my beautiful photographs none of you regular readers commented so I thought the whole thing had fallen flat - until today when my hits spiked. Someone from this site had posted a link to Nelly’s Garden on the forum. Who’d have thought there would be a site dedicated to people working in the pallet industry? But then again, knowing the Internet, it would have been far odder if there weren’t one.

Diving In

He knows a lot about the web and both Zoe and he gave me a lot of help and advice when I started Nelly's Garden in August 2004. Now he's decided to take a plunge for himself into the world of blogging. He usually does his plunging off the side of a boat so if you're interested in web design or scuba diving you might find something to interest you at

Links

Some of you may have noticed that I have no links here. It's not that I will not just that I cannot. (stupido) DH has promised to help me out with this. When I get sorted I will be linking to Z, G, S-T, N from G and some others.
