I have been transporting bags of ballast from B&Q which is approx 1 mile from the house.
I've happily been purchasing 10 at a time ( to get the discount) and loading 5 either side through the passenger door . My car is a Citroen C3 Picasso, the rear seats fold flat and covered with a tailor-made rubber mats mack a superb loading space.
Whilst the helpful B&Q staff were kindly loading the car I was accosted by an irate person telling me I was overloading my vehicle. I retorted that it is no worse than transporting a couple of fat people in the back.
Now I should mention that I am disabled and my car was parked in the disabled parking section. I did not have my wheelchair or any other items in the back.
I rather suspect this may be the fact the reason the chap was so incensed. The B&Q lad agreed with me as did my neighbour who is my unloader along with my kids.
What do you guys think?
