There's a stupormarket next to the station I get my train from every morning.
I'm usually waiting on the platform at the same time as a bunch of deliveries
are coming in.  Despite having seen them doing it every day for the past few
years, it's still a pleasure to see the drivers backing into the loading bay.
Those men and woman are ARTISTS.  Oh, and they have just a foot or so clearance on either side, and maybe one and a half times their own length to maneuvre
in.
