How Many Cases of Beer Fit in a Land Rover 
Thursday, December 13, 2007, 11:49 AM
So off we set for Peckhams with the entire order fitted into a Land Rover. Just how many? I am afraid with millions of readers of this public forum across the globe, some no doubt in law enforecement, the full load may not be disclosed - suffice to say slow progress towards the Peckhams Depot was the order of the day. Sharp braking would have led to one hell of a party in Glasgow's Govan district.

Safely delivered, signed for and off to make some new customers.
Just note the jaunty angle of the vehicle.

Ships That Pass in the Night

Tomorrow we have logistics going on to rival Tesco ( still waiting for that opder Dan).

Shriley's leaving the Island with a car full of beer and boxes for courier deliveries from the hub - and Chris is going over to the island with distribution boxes, bottle labels and crates. They'll wave to each other at the pier.

The Lady From Peckhams She Say Yes

To hell with the man from Delmonte - the lady from Peckhams has just emailled with the Isle of Colonsay Brewing Company's biggest order to date.
Before the ping of the inbox had time to disappate we'd phoned to book the delivery in for Thursday Morning - done deal. Thanks Lady.

Why does it always rain on me?
Glasgow Farmers Market got off to a flying start - as soon as our licence allowed us to we were selling like hot cakes taking oodles of cash before even the official opening time. The just after 11 the heavens opened, Mansfield Park became Mansfield Pool and the west end shopper sretreated to the pine floored flats never to be seen again.
We had a good day - It should have been much better. A lady come along with her old box of six to get it refilled for a third time. We even knocked an extra quid off seeing we'd saved two boxes.

On the Road

A busy day tomorrow for brewery executives. Bob and Chris trundling down from the island about their various duties laden down with beer.
The mainland sales executive making calls in Edinburgh to potential and exisiting outlets. This means that once again the boss is in sole command of the brewry. No doubt there will be an increased responsibility allowance creeping into the accounts. Bob's off to Munich, tail between his legs,having failed to persuade his partners that endless quantities of German Beer do not qualify as a legitimate business expense - unless we are all there.
