A day in the life of Del Boy and Rodders. And Trigger's in the back minding the load.

So we start at KLGA. Having already off-loaded a consignment of Trump/Biden boxing garden gnomes, we are now loading up a batch of Soh-nee Betamax DVD players which Dell got at a bargain price from a dealer in Poughkeepsie.

Parked up way out on the edge of the field, away from prying officials, while we offload a couple of pallets of finest "Camdenburg" cheese (very fragrant and rich tasting - but then it is 5 years old and from the back of the warehouse) in exchange for a few dozen cases of Bollinga (yes, that is the correct spelling) Champagne

And having done that, a hasty takeoff and back towards headquarters

We'll leave it there overnight, the cleaners'll be along in a bit to tidy it up and try and get rid of the smell of that cheese.

Oh, did anyone fetch Trigger out of the hold?

Smiling all the way!

I just love your comments, Andy. You seem to have a dry humour, which I like. And your screenies are superb! Btw, what's Bollinga Champagne? I only know Bollinger, which was 007's favourite. 😃

Cheers Bernd! "Bollinga" is just a Dell-boy sort of thing. Probably just carbonated tap water in a fake Bollinger bottle with a slight off-centre lable. And yours for just £20 a bottle! 007 would hunt you down and kill you if you served him this stuff.
