ALL blue Chep pallets are owned by them . They can literally rock up and remove them off your premises or charge you if not present. (Suppliers usually kept pretty strict records of how many went where etc. not dead certain of how it works these days. LPR are similar.
Deffo some in that pile i'd wager

I think the Boyos might have something to say about removing themALL blue Chep pallets are owned by them . They can literally rock up and remove them off your premises or charge you if not present.

Nope blue with a C is deffo chep
We had a little Gestapo type chap turn up once with clipboard asking for certain amount of cheps. Luckily we scrounged around and found enough. Weird setup but obviously works.
Must loose a few in NI BTL

Chep operate in Oz as well and use similat tactics - if you have a Chep pallet on site, you ow them.
I've seen sites with a "No Chep Pallets" sign at the entrance and they make the drivers unload / transfer to alternative pallets before the the shipment would be accepted.

got a call this afters From Hereford's endoscopic bookings clerk ...
can I present next Wednesday at 08.00 for an ERCP, with a Mr Ransard !!!
" Er - first I've heard of this, can you tell me why? " went through the recent history with her and asked if the MRI on Monday, had shown up the 3mm gall stone I was sure had transited weeks ago -- she had no idea
" I'm going to have to come back to you in an hour or two - need to speak to a couple of ppl and my consultant in Caerdiff " (who I've still not had any contact with)
So rang Caerdiff AGAIN - unavailable.. so rang his clinical nurse on her mobile and got through --
She'd not heard I'd been in hospital or that my consultant had been talking with Hereford's guys in July - and he's on holiday 'til next week.
Explained the situation and the fact that I needed an explanation as to why he'd changed his stance on a Lap Chole (gall bladder removal)? Plus the fact that Gaucher's makes me a 'stone producer' and without a gall bladder WTF else were they gonna go??
She asked for copies of all the paperwork I had and she'd discuss it with my consultant's colleague A.S.A.P.
Having read up considerably on ERCP procedures, since July, it would appear there is a considerable level of risk to the procedure, especially with my history of three pancreatitis admissions
'sposed to be a day patient job, but could just as easily end up on a ward too
very much back on the fence tonight with it all

The more I read here, the more I’m convinced that the UK is not much different from Serbia. Well the most obvious difference is the corrupt here and the fact that your government is trying to force people into giving up there homes to illegals

well what do we have here - again -- sadly a long way up country and a bit on the short side -- cheap enough for a basic lift it into the van job though

well the phone's been busy today - half ten I get a call from SDEC in Hereford - it's Beccy with the results of the MRI on Monday -
" I already know Beccy - had endoscopy bookings clerk on the phone yesterday to say I'm scheduled for an ERCP next Wednesday, so I'd assumed the stone identified in the previous MRI in July hasn't moved "
" ah ok ... so is there anything else you need me to tell you, or are you all sorted ? "
" think I'm pretty well sorted, thanks "
Get my Caerdiff consultant's clinical nurse on the phone an hour an' a half later .. she's consulted with his colleagues and all agree that the decision to support the Hereford surgeon's desire to do the Lap Chole is based on a risk benefit appraisal, although they've no experience of other patients having had it done
they've no idea WTF will happen to any further stones produced
Also said they would be more than happy to participate in an interdepartmental zoom meeting and that they would want to include me in it (I'd bloody hope they would).
Oh and me consultant fella is not on holiday, as she thought - he's off on the sick!!
I'd also chucked into an email to her yesterday, that I'd not seen anyone there in over 18+ months, I'd had three appointments cancelled and not had an MRI for their 'field of interest' for even longer ('sposed to be a 6 monthly regime of scans and consults). Also mentioned that I'd wondered if that; as I was a fairly 'trouble free' patient, they'd 'put me on the back burner' ??
Absolutely not ... would get onto the relevant dept.s and get something organised !!
She must've lit a fire under someone, 'cos I had 'Sam' on the phone by half two with an appointment to see them on the 18th Sept. - assuming I'm in any fit state to travel and not been whipped in on the 16th/17th by the guy I'm seeing in Hereford on the 15th - had an email confirmation and appointment letter copy, in less than 20 minutes!!
AJ'd said back in August, that they'd not be slow/faff about, in getting me in, as 'my odds were getting pretty short'
Good job we've had Harper all day, as it meant I wasn't far from my desk, to look at emails and take notes or I'd never remember half of it
and she's been in fine form all day " swings Grandad "
lashed it down here 'til about ten and cleared up to be a half decent day ... could barely see the bottom of the lawn at seven this morning .. let alone across the valley
Gonna be a busy couple of weeks, coming up

cattle grid on our shared driveway, starting to break up - made out of tin in the first place .. sad act next door must've been away for a week - his sister's been there, nag feeding ... can't have been back more than a couple of hours and email from him - what're we all gonna do about the grid
sadly I don't have a functional mobile welder or I'd have been up and patched it weeks ago - don't really fancy dragging 2.3t of Cummins genny up there to run the Caddy
a patch plate, that the guys who own the drive, got welded on there maybe a year or more ago, had let go and a couple of the 75 x 50 x 3mm rails have started to break up and present some nasty edges too - like I said - made out of tish in the first place
so went and got the detached plate and measured up for a.n.other to cover the 'nasties', 'fore they get one of my tyres ... will do for a week or two - actually had a corded grinder out this afters
pre-drilled both plates with some 5mm holes, to accommodate some Tekscrews and went back up to get 'em screwed down ... also took a large disc of Glasron up with me to create a 'slow down over grid' sign .. they come over it like bloody F1 cars - no wonder it's collapsing. issue with the teks is they're into some pretty thin crap
have spoken with the owners this afters and they're considering pulling it out and filling it in - it does provide a good early warning of anyone coming down here - especially after dark/very late/overnight
have suggested I knock out a (better) new one - wouldn't take a lot of doing and have asked Rog at Ex-stock for some material prices this evening.
I know the pit needs a bloody good clean out and it's drains clearing
little one I prepared earlier - 'bout 20 ++ years earlier -- used to make a lot of grids -- a suitably sized one would drop into the pit easily enough and sheep DO NOT like round bar grids - buggers walk over what's there ATM, when they get out .. and now use the flat strip at the edge, after the knob next door reversed his trailer into it and snapped the posts off -- best/funniest part was the two 'horsey girls', at the barn, were sat watching him do it !!
Not had any mention of that though
