Mel E Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 As Clive so wisely said, if you have twin rear wheel drive then you won't need bread trays or any other anti-skid device. Our last m'home had twin rear wheels (Iveco chassis) and 4.2 tonnes, but we never had a wheel even suggest slipping - while all around were being towed by tractors out of the mud patches they had created with their inexpert driving of front drive Fiats. As for illegal use of bread trays - just like insurance fraud, there is no such thing as a victimless crime. The ultimate customer pays in the end - in this case in bread prices. And if everyone is at it, as claimed above, then there's no wonder the 'umble loaf costs so much . . . Mel E ==== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 JudgeMental - 2007-05-08 10:48 PM I am afraid that ignorance is no defense in British law... whether your trays are cut down or not mere possession will be an easy offense for even a mediocre barrister to prove. and if you are unfortunate enough to appear before me. I will have no alternative but to punish with the full weight of the law at my disposal. my hands are tied - the Pillsbury dough boy will have it no other way! and may God have mercy on your poor retched souls... CRUMBS JUDGE! you can't have it both ways ... you admitted that you have cut down 4 earlier on this posting so I'm afraid you've got to go and hang yourself first, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and all that (just trying to keep the 'Tony' aspect going in his absence you understand!!! (lol) ) Our trays came from the local drain where some yobbos (technical term) had slung them, somehow I don't think the bakery wanted them back ... they could've collected them of course (along with the shopping trollies that seem to gather there every now and then) but I was doing my bit for the environment by recycling them into something useful and removing them from the drain so that all the wildlife (and rats!) could enjoy swimming about in the lovely unpolluted water. It's also where we used to get a good supply of calor gas bottles to pass on to those in need ... oh I do love doing my bit of 'charity' work! Mandy - come on girl, what did you expect of the motley crew on here? At least it's given them some meaning to life to be able to condemn us and add a bit of excitement to their day ... just pretend that it's them that you're driving your van onto and not the trays ... I've given my trays names ... can you guess what they are called??????? (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only visual, not in black and white, let's settle for a 'lot' rather than 'Most'. And No, no consciece about using them, they ARE good at what they do. I never 'nicked' them, they were a gift from a grateful customer, who gave me them in lieu of payment........ so I sleep peacefully. never getting 'that sinking feeling' . :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 £40,000 on a brand new van, and rather than spend a couple of pounds buying the correct items you,ve not only left yourself open to criminal charges, but possible injury modifying stolen property. You then compound this felony by involving and asking other users their advice, therefore making them accomplices, and adding corruption to this growing list of unwarranted misdemeanours. We all had such high hopes and expectations of you Mandy, and I urge you to reconsider your actions that have left so many of us so deeply disappointed.

will redfearn Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I nearly ran over some trays in a supermarket carpark, which if I had would have caused considerable damage to my vehicle. I went to the manager with said trays and informed hime of the potential danger of trays and other items being scattered in such a manner. On close examination he verified that they were not from their suppliers. As luck would have it there was police attendance at the premises,nothing serious they were buying their lunch. I approached the officers to inform them of some lost property, they looked at me as if I was a nutter,perhaps I am. They would not take the trays as lost property,so I did!! Surely like any industry they have allowances for 'slippage' and surely they should charge a deposit to the supermarkets, if it was substantial it would ensure they are kept safely and not just left outside the shop. An alternative would be to use a strong cardboard tray which could then be disposed of by composting. Oh and BTW the trays are brilliant for grip on wet grass!!!!! (lol) (lol) (lol) Prior to that I used rubber link mats £1.99 from Wilkinsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Cut -down Breadtrays do the job far better than any offerings on the open market, Fiamma's 'Grip system' is useless compared to the good old breadtrays... the only thing that comes close are the ' rubber road' items that some garden centres stock. Ignore the 'profits of doom and gloom' . They probably can't find any to cut down....... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well..... Fishguard. Now how do I return these trays ??? I know, I'll cut them down with a jigsaw.........
