Have to say the Postponed VAT is the best thing to come out of Brexit, I'm sure the IRM lads will agree

 

Must me the only good thing to come out of it!

She must have unloaded overnight as she's already left Dublin port this morning and heading back South towards the channel back to an EU port.

Is that a 40ft container I see on the deck there

[Patrick Davey]

Tracking the ship was very entertaining - thanks for that!!  But has it actually been confirmed that the container was on board?  Asking for a friend......

That's what we like to hear! Would you like a job as our director of sales?

We need the container to arrive first. Then it's a matter of tipping, breaking down, stacking, qc checking, picking, wrapping and shipping. And with a feck ton of orders it will take us several days to get through them all. Locos should start arriving with folk from the middle of next week. 

But, today is 'A' very good day indeed for us at IRM and for all our customers!

As @Warbonnet said above, there's a lot of unloading, unpacking and processing to be done. Not sure what additional update you want at this point?
