Johnson and Johnson piano removal and delivery service

My mum is clearing out her house. Mel bought a crappy piano. My mum's trying to get rid of hers. Mel could do with a better piano.

It sounds like an ideal little 'switch-a-roo' to sort out everyones problems and needs.

So how many vehicles do you know that you can get two pianos in? Introducing the Izuzu Bighorn 'rimster'

I think it's the Bighorn 'irmscher' actually but the handwritten font they had chosen had made it look a bit suspect, so the name sticks.

So we start at No. 10 and get the piano out, on to a trolly and wheeled across a main road and lifted into a massive trailer (that you could actually fit my car in *wink*) and off to Mel's in the mighty rimster.

At Mel's, we of course have to get the old piano out, but seeing as dad only put it in there a couple of months ago then it wasn't too much bother.

The new one, however, was about 4 inches longer and this meant it took a whole new approach and was a real bitch to get in.

Any way, after an hour and a bit, and a couple of cornish pasties, it went in. The fun starts when we try and take the old one away.

Our plan was always to just take it down the tip and try and get rid of it. But on a wednesday afternoon we weren't sure if it would be open, but it was the only day with had the Bighorn so we took it down anyway.

When we got to the tip and pulled in, we asked if we could dump a piano and they said yes. But we couldn't bring in the trailer because it was over 4' tall and we didn't have a permit. All the time we were arguing a queue had formed so we were told drive through the tip and out the other side.

So after a little ponder we decided to disconnect the trailer, take out the piano, put the dog in the front of the big horn, piano in the back (I squeezed in there to), and went round again. After a little bit of banter they soon took it off of us and proceeded to kick the crap out of it.
