What did we say?
Takeastroll with us through the little side roads of haulage, the diversions and detours, the quirky, the quixotic and the downright strange...
Like every other night here at On the Margin, we're left wondering whether it was something we said. OK so most of the time this is thanks to a gin-soaked evening down the Ferrett and Merkin where we attempt to discuss the finer points of late 18th century French philosophy with our counterparts that ends in an unseemly scuffle and a late night trip to A&E. Next day, head in hands (or if it's a particularly vigorous discussion, hands in head) we crawl back to our bottle-strewn office to ask that immortal question "was it something we said?"
VVth that in mind we pose the same question of parcels firm Business Post.
Only last week we ran a two-page, all-singing, all-dancing gala-jubilee-type interview with its chief executive Paul Carvell. Then we tried to have numerous copies of the magazine delivered early in the morning to the MIRA test station at Hinckley... only for them to arrive hours late.

We're sorry, whatever it was we said, we apologise for it and it won't happen again, honest. We were probably drunk. And if you can promise that the next thing we send will arrive in timely fashion then we swear never to mention this again.
