This clip is currently doing the rounds on t'internet. I don't think that the guys are professional removal men.

they were probably doing ok 'til they nearly passed a pub

They have it cushy. What's wrong with carrying it. LOL

[Togo]

Perhaps they 'nicked' it and that is the getaway vehicle.

This gave me a huge laugh ....thanks !

it reminds me of the two "odd job men" that we used to have in BT in Swansea a few years ago. I can't remember what their real names were but they were generally known as Mutt and Jeff.

I saw them trying to move a filing cabinet, using one of those two-wheeled trucks, up a narrow cobbed street from one office building to another. The filing cabinet fell off the truck and lay there in the middle of the lane.

Mutt turned to Jeff and said......."You know the trouble with you don't you ?...you are just thick"

We cheered at that point out of the window above them !

Another thing I remember about M+J is that they were given a pager, so that the manager of the Accommodation Office could contact them...this was in the days before Mobile phones. The pager went off when they had almost reached Carmarthen, about 30 miles away and they promptly turned around and drove back to Swansea, to ask what the matter was !

Thing is, Wolf......whenever I'm moving a sofa on a sack barrow I never call in for the Guinness first........♣

These two are the delivery men from DFS mikey. That sale has to be funded somehow.

I was thinking sofa so good.

LOL, great wolf. If they hadn't have been so *** up I think they would have had a fight.

There is an episode of Para Handy/The Vital Spark which has a similar story line - but I think that it is a coffin that they were moving (hopefully empty). There was probably no swearing though - just lots of dry humour.
