Unfortunately, that's not the case over here. Plus, the seller COULD be talking rubbish just to get rid.

;DI went to a container terminal a while back to collect a box & on getting booked in was told by the "helpful" gate operative my container was located in lane C3. All ok until he told me there were 2 stacks in C3 & i was to wait by the middle one!!! His Mum must be proud of him. :o
    On a similar occasion i asked to speak to someone who'd been issued with a brain, resulting in threats of being banned from the terminal & phone calls to my boss(who asked them what did they expect?)
     On reading Markie's post i'm looking into a triple cam conversion but can't find anything. Maybe the said gate staff could assist? ::)
