Let’s face it, these days if you’re not on Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Hi-Five or any other social networking site, you’re basically completely out of the loop, and have no life to speak of. Somewhat ironic, we feel. And when one is part of said social networking sites, one is inclined to share as much of one’s personal information with the world as possible, so that everyone can see what exciting things one is up to at any time of the day or night. But what about the potential dangers of letting everyone know when you’re around, when you’re out of the house, and when you’re on holiday? Who knows who’ll be reading that information, potentially knowing where it is that you live, and planning on making off with your prized possessions whilst the place is empty. Here at Man and Vans Camden, we’re dedicated to looking after your stuff whilst it’s in our care, whether we’re picking it up and dropping it off, or helping you do a full house move- and we think you should take care of it, too. So our advice to you is this- keep your personal info between friends, don’t spread it around where anyone could find it.

We’re all busy these days, working long hours to pay the bills, and then trying to sociable with our colleagues/chums after work, before running home to see the significant other/the kids, to kiss them goodnight and possibly read a story (to the kids, that is. Usually, anyhow). We want to make sure everyone feels loved and treasured, which isn’t always so easy to do with such time constraints, which is how Man and Vans London can help.

As with most people, we at Man and Vans Merton like to keep up with current affairs, and always keep an eye on the news for more interesting things going on in the world of removals (and around the rest of the world, of course…). We were shocked and horrified, however, to read about an antiques collector who recently suffered a burglary right outside his old home, as the removal van was parked and loaded, ready to take his prized possessions to his new residence. Around midday on the 22nd May, the thieves seized the opportunity to nick the van, presumably having been watching carefully whilst the loading had been taking place, leaving the antiques’ owner having to move house without some of his most sentimental and valuable possessions. Police around the Caterham area, where the incident took place, have asked antique dealers to keep an eye out for some of the items in the vehicle.

It’s summer at last in the UK. The sun seems to be poking it’s lazy head out from the clouds, and it looks like we might just have something of a decent chance to get a tan on home turf. Not only this, but it’s time to get organising some super summer parties, booking your friends for your date of choice, and making sure you’ve got all the food and decorations needed to make it a bash to remember. Maybe you’re even going the whole hog and renting a venue for your summer party, and maybe you’ve got tonnes of awesome props/decorative pieces to move…which is where Man and Vans Lambeth comes in. With our friendly and efficient service, and with boys that could lift a large elephant (we’re not sure about this one, but it’s somewhat likely), we can move your streamers/baubles/paddling pool (we’re thinking pool party here), from wherever you are, to wherever the fun will be, whenever suits you. Sounds good, doesn’t it? So drop us a line and one of our friendly team will be able to give you a quote for your move. Please note: we love parties, and love getting invited. Just so you know.

It was a regular Wednesday afternoon in the Man and Vans London office…at least it was until we received something of an usual request. “Do you move rare species of animals?” inquired a potential customer over the livechat application on our website, “As I have a python and a tarantula who need taking somewhere”. After a little thinking and discussion around the office, yes, said we, as long as they are in a secure box and can travel safely in the back of the van without supervision. “Hmmm”, quoth the potential customer, “thing is, Snuffles, the python, is afraid of the dark”. It was at this point we got a little suspicious (we later found out it was our Soph playing a little joke on us, what a card she is), but it did get us thinking.
