If a pack of Pickfords packers . . .






If a pack of Pickfords packers pack a pick of packing cases, what a pack of packing cases, the pack of Pickfords packers pick!

If a pack of Pickfords packers pick a pack that's picked for packing in a particular van and put that picked pack in a pantechnicon instead, what a pickle Pickford packers put two persons in!
Pickfords were perfect nearly!
The blue holdall in the bottom picture is labelled Campervan and contains all the bedding for the Van. This bedding is relatively the most pricey equipment in the van. We bought a silk duvet in Shanghai (very cheap) and silk sheets in the UK, (very expensive) in the belief that they would be lighter, more compact as well as easier to launder and dry. Pickfords packed it! Pickfords also rescued it and returned it to us! Thanks Tony!
You can see John, the calm centre of the move relaxing in his study all set to be picked and packed!
You can also see an astonishing phenomena!
As the Pickford packers pack the contents of the house swell up and enlarge enormously! This is clearly illustrated by the picture of my studio which shows the boxes have taken over the entire space! As Pickfords packed the numbers of men and vans needed to complete the job doubled and tripled - with a final push the Pickfords packers triumphed and completed the task on time!

Gawd, you two make me laugh. A 'pack of pickfords packers' has completely messed up the nursery rhyme in my head. Peter Piper is no more. I give up.
