Yeh, count me in 👍

Exactly the same response, but this time with a different outcome. It's like playing roulette 🤣

Congrats on getting it up on the trailer in (mostly) one piece!

I wondered about that too. I imagine it's the weight of all our parcels in the back. So next time you get a flattened box from your Yodel courier...
