Portaloo Hire Helped my Holiday From Going Down the Swannie.
Portaloo Hire Helped my Holiday From Going Down the Swannie. Mark AttwoodOur exams had finished and me and my friends were going to spend some time camping on the coast of Devon.It was the summer before we were all due to go off to our separate universities, so we were determined to have a good time.Although the campsite was a very basic, it was facing the beach and had an amazing view of the landscape.We spent all our days swimming and snorkelling and at night we would all huddle by the campfire and talk for hours.
One night, the weather went from good to bad with torrential rain beating down on our tent.We obviously decided to stay in the tent and played cards til the early morning.Out tent remained resilient against the bad weather and toughed it out all night.We awoke the next morning and walked down to the showers to find out that the toilets were in disrepair because the bad weather had caused floods.
The farmer who owned the campsite was going ballistic - 150 campers onsite and nowhere for them to go to the toilet!He was in deep trouble, and could have a HSE issue on his hands so he was letting every man and his dog use his own toilet in his house.He looked very angry as he tried unsuccessfully to get a plumber to do an emergency call out.I then had a thought, I rang my Dad on my mobile phone.hire services!~I was about to save the situation - my dad was managing director of a Mark Attwood company!~It was obvious - my Dad was the director of a company - I was about to save the day!}
Ten portaloos were hired immediately, my Dad said there was no reason to worry and they would be there very soon.After I told the farmer this, he hugged me to within an inch of my life, I had save his day.Within the hour one of my Dad's {vans had arrived onsite and was loading the toilets off the wagon.~Pretty soon after, one of my Dad's vans came onsite and set up the units by the washrooms.~Within no time at all, the wagon carrying the units arrived on site and were placed down by the shower units.}The driver had a laugh at the predicament of the farmer but reassured him that he could keep them until his proper toilets were working.
After all that, me and my friends decided to enjoy the sunshine on the beach until later afternoon when we returned to our tent to find a basket of porkpies and cider waiting for us - a thank you form the farmer and his wife.We enjoyed the food and cider and for the rest of the holiday the farmer treated us like family.Even though it doesn't sound particularly attractive, knowing someone in the portaloo hire trade can come in very handy!
