I just bought a bed. Exciting I know. But I don't have a car big enough to carry it, nor a friend with a van.
Could anyone here recommend a Man with Van service, or fancy lending their services in exchange for cash or a pint? Cheers muchly.

In the old days it was simply a case of finding some sandy patch and there'd be a Pakistani bloke with a truck and then he'd go and find a couple of fellas to hump the stuff around - for AED50.

Haven't seen that for a while.

Al Quoz, along the road that runs behind the 1st row of buildings along the SZR between IC3 and IC4, there are usually loads of 3 - 7.5 ton pickups there.


Just re-read and the directions are rubbish!!

Basically behind the Garden centre, Times Square etc.
