London Transport`s `Italian Job`
Getting ready for departure on Day 2 and it looks as if one of the team has been shopping. Very nearly has. One bus (I don`t recall which) had been loaded with `provisions` donated by Sainsbury`s - who even supplied a quantity of carrier bags! Chosen for practicality rather than for nutritional value, there must have been a couple of pallet loads of fizzy lemonade, cola, chocolate bars, crisps, biscuits and cake. The idea being that these were snack things to be eaten on the move and thus prior to departure each morning and at stopping places during the day, a visit to the `shop` bus to pick up supplies became normal.
I would imagine that whoever at Sainsbury`s sanctioned the items to be donated specified `ambient` in order to last the journey. We probably could have made chilled items last a few days given that they were being transported in the bus equivalent of a refrigerated vehicle.......
