I thought this was a fluke but checked a delivery from last week and that was from Carlisle as well!
Imagine driving a 150 mile round trip for some sandpaper and a scraper!
When I was in University in Swansea, I worked for Asda as a delivery driver, we used to deliver as far away as Aberystwyth from the Swansea store. I think our upper limit was 70 miles from the store. It was a much, much better job then when I graduated and transferred to the store in the Galleries after, which the furthest I got from Washy was Town End Farm, and Birtley!
