Coming Through, Coming Through...Fridge on a Bike

I really really must remember to take my camera out at all times because there are some really comical sights you see both out and about and even at home, as we witnessed today.

DH was still not satisfied with the fridge, I was losing the will to live so on our shopping expo (sorry H no bracelet for you today, not that kind of retail therapy I'm sorry to say!) he popped in the shop and persuaded them to exchange it for another one with basically more gadgets for him to play with.

5.20pm was delivery time and sure enough, along came 4 men but no fridge.
"Fridge is coming Sir, no worry", we were told with a wobble of the head, and sure enough a couple of minutes later a man on a bike with a small trailer behind him, shakily pedalled down the drive pulling the fridge behind him. It then took the four men an age to actually get the thing off the trailer and struggle with it to the kitchen. Now consider...This fridge had come perhaps some 2.5 miles through the notorious Chennai traffic on a push bike and got to our house in one piece and working...whoever said that India was not an enviromentally friendly country?! In some respects at least.
