Well that was quite a morning, when the doors and windows did get to the right location the driver had no means of unloading them.  No only could he not unload them he couldn’t communicate anything to me as he didn’t speak a word of English.  I can only assume the transport company thought there would be builders on site to help unload, the driver didn’t even have a pallet truck to move them onto a tail lift.
But he did have a long pole to pin back the curtain sides of his truck so he was a Pole with a Pole.
Once he realised he was stuck with no means of unloading he went in to the sort of sulk that only a delivery drivers can.  He walked about quite a lot, smoked a couple of fags, and mumbled to himslef like I have never heard before, he did make some slashing movements at the cling film stuff that they wrap these loads in and cut through a couple of the plastic straps, with a sharp kitchen knife, then he just looked at it shock his head and mumbled.  At  9 o’clock when the offic opened I was able to speak to the suppliers, then handed my phone to the driver so he could speak to the polish speaker in the office.  He was told he needed to unload and that I could help, he wasn’t having any off it and went into his cab to sulk a bit more and smoke a bit more.  One more call to the office and they finally got him to let me help, the first window was fine for the bathroom but next came the back door and it was mega heavy, and I knew the front door would be even heavier there was no way I could lift it.  So we went back to are respective vehicles where he sulked and smoked some more and I called Andras & David my landscapers to lend a hand.  They had to drop tools on a job in Brentford and come to Hampton.  To move the front door which is solid wood and comes in its frame with the side glass window panel in place Andras created a harness from some staps which they placed on their shoulders to give them extra help to lift it.
At least I know that the fitters who are coming tomorrow will speak English
