We've just transported a replica of the original 1940's olympic torch from school to school all around the uk for an awareness program.<br><br>Just a bit of inquisitive fun.<br><br>
Just out of interest what's the strangest or most unique thig you've carried.

5A crash test dummy from Northamton to Porton Down and it had to be in the passinger seat to avoid any damage to it. The miserable sod never spoke to me all morning.

540I was slightly concerned having <i>Nil Satis Nisi Optimum</i> incorporated in my van signs but now I see a turd on Speed's ad I'm not bothered at all!

10314as long as everton don't sue you for copyright...don't think we're in breach of anything with our turd....unless you count good taste i guess...lol<div><br></div>
Dunn Couriers
540As an Everton fan I'm sure the club would be OK about it. As for copyright, it's just a Latin phrase after all and 'Only the best is good enough' is also a phrase that applies to the service I provide. There's no need to go on the defensive about it and try to convince everyone that your ads are better than anyone else's by starting a competition. Jesus!
Dunn Couriers
540And please afford the club I have supported since 1963 the courtesy of a capital letter!

Dunn Couriers
540Sorry, when I read your posts again I realized that. If I was able to delete or edit I would have done. Nothing wrong with my sense of humour - after all, I have been supporting Everton for 49 years when my local club growing up was Spurs! Sense of humour or sense of irony? Hmmm
