  • & i thought we paid allot for our vinyl carriers!

    Just thought ide post this as it was a bit of a shocker to me today.
    We got a 9am rush order in from a art gallery in Mexico showing work of my brothers and said they have run out of vinyl we sent last month. When do you need it for we asked? Today 4pm latest, 100 metres 1230 wide of various colours of lines cut into various widths of lines. They went onto saying a carrier will pick it up at 4pm and drive it to Glasgow. It will be put onto a private plane flown to some place refuel & onto Mexico for tomorrow morning. Best part was the plans was not holding anything other than the vinyl & pilots! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ โ€ฆ thankfully the Mexican gallery picked up the tab, but it would have been interesting just how much that cost them?
    I would have thought FedEx or someone would have done it for them as thatโ€™s how we normally send this stuff, but they said no… Anyway… bit of usless info for you all… Just thought it was a bit bizarre!

    Personally I would have cunning disguised myself as a roll of vinyl and stowed away for the trip ๐Ÿ˜€ Tequilla and sunshine, irresistable ๐Ÿ˜€

    Damn, my cunning plan foiled again by the need for cigarettes… unless… I could wrap my feet in app tape, disguising them as a ball of discarded waste that accidentially attached itself to the roll of vinyl and stuck about 30 nicotine patches on my arms, legs and anywhere I have any room! ๐Ÿ˜€ It’d be worth it for the tequilla ๐Ÿ˜€

    Is good to be back Nik, my first night of not aching and in need of sleep… I think I might be becoming acustomed to signmaking ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜† Either that or Mrs Dewi has been putting those elephant-strength painkillers in my coffee again ๐Ÿ˜•

    Cheers, Dewi

    There is an opening in the market then, lets all go to mexico and start up some sign company. They obviously cant have anyone out there capable of supplying vinyl if they need a private jet to ship some in! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
