ERNIE: But that's not a road, it's a private drive. What is this?
'FOXY': Just be sensible, Ernie, and no harm will be done. If you do what I say,
there'll be something in this for you...
(Nextday. Hector Grant rings his Transport Manager.)
HECTOR GRANT: Bruce? H.G. here. What on earth's happening in this place? I've
just had a call from Scotland. They say that load of desks for the new liner never
arrived. You're the Transport Manager, you're supposed to deal with this sort of thing.
I dont want to be bothered with it. What do I have a Transport Manager for?.. Yes...
find out, and deal with it.
(Twenty minutes later. Peter comes into H.G. 's office.)
PETER: H.G., I've just spoken to Bruce Hill. He's sure our load to
Clydeside has been hi-jacked.
GRANT: Hi-jacked? What on earth do you mean?
PETER: After you'd spoken to Bruce. he called the contractors. They've also been
trying to contact their driver. They checked with a transport cafe near Carlisle and
he'd been there. After that, nothing. They've already been on to the police, who've
searched the road and found nobody.
GRANT: There must be some mistake. He must be somewhere between Carlisle and
Scotland.
PETER: The police say they've checked the whole route. Apparently it's the third
lorry to disappear in a week. They think it may be the same gang.
GRANT: Oh, damn it! It was a large order, wasn't it?
PETER: Yes. sixtv desks and the same. number of chairs.
GRANT: Well, you'd better let the insurance company know. But I'm sure the police
will catch up with them. It's funny the driver hasn't been found.
PETER: I suppose it's possible that the driver is an accomplice.
GRANT: These damned contractors. You never know where you are with them. How
do we know the driver wasn't involved? I wish to heaven we had our own fleet!
PETER: What was that, H.G.?
GRANT: I think it's high time we had a couple of lorries of our own. Put up detailed
proposals with a D.C.F. on the Investment at the next Board Meeting, will you. You
would be in favour, wouldn't you?
PETER: Er... yes, H.G- Yes, on balance I think I would...
