Lost Crate.
Bit dated now but I recollect that when I and my Family left Gib. 1970,at end of tour, One of 6 deep sea crates went adrift!!!.
I spread the valuables around the crates but the one missing had the most interestring and valuable "Manifest".
They all came into Tilbury Docks.
5 crates turned up OK. (out in the sticks of East Suffolk)
Started the Trace routine to find missing Crate, even went myself to the Warehouse at the docks. No sign of said crate.
Left it for a few days then had a brainwave!!
My Father worked for the Admiralty at Bath HQ.
Chatted to him and asked if he had any "Contacts" in the right places.
24 hrs later the crate turned up delivered OK.
On checking a bit deeper I was told it was found in a corner of another
unused Warehouse on the Docks!!!!!!.
So lesson learnt that there are some bad apples in most "Mover" type oganisations, who let themselves and the Honest majority down.
Human nature I guess!!!!!
