Hi All

What the Eff have I done?

Well, last Friday I signed more legal documents in one sitting than I have signed in my entire life before. By the end of it, I wouldnt be surprised if I had taken out a new american express card, subscribed to the Readers Digest for the rest of my life and joined the foreign legion.

And the upshot is that we have acquired a new head-office, branch, ecommerce fulfilment and distribution complex of such a size that it is bigger than our next 10 largest branches combined. Spread over two major buildings on a campus that includes a 40 space car park, 4 loading bays, 2 main access roads, we are seriously considering getting some golf buggies just to get round the site.

Here's an overhead of the site with our bits subtly shaded in



The white rectangles lined up towards the centre of the pic are 40 ft trailers.

Heres a pic of the inside of the smaller building



I daren't go in the larger building in case I get agrophobic.

What the actual F**K was I thinking?

Wish us luck. And for those of you that know Ian, wish him luck next time you speak to him, because this is his new train set. I just get to pay the bills. Well, no actually you lot get to pay the bills. Oh ****.

Thanks Mutley. To be honest, I am in "bricking it" mode now.

It all seemed so sensible before we actually had to sign the documents.

Well business is OK Lachlan, but I couldn't possibly justify this on the basis of our current size. This is either a bold statement of our intent to challenge the nationals and beat them at their own game, or the most embarrassing case of a couple of pompey bog-salesmen getting above themselves that you can possibly imagine.

Only time will tell.

No problem Adam. Just let me know when you are ready for an honest day's work.
