Dear Sirs
I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks to one of your (John Duncan Removals) drivers for an excellent display of patience and observation this morning. I think the registration began EK53, and I first came across the van/lorry at King's Haugh, as I passed through the industrial estate there, and the van was leaving at the same time.
Your driver waited behind as I passed a burger van and lorry parked on the road, and was obviously paying attention as there was no attempt to overtake before we reached Peffermill Road, with a couple of vehicles turning into the industrial estate. He was held up slightly at the junction, but had caught me again by the biscuit factory on Peffermill Road; however he remained behind as first I came round the bend to the left without any attempt to pass, then rode through a couple of pinch points, again without any attempt to pass. All this time the driver kept a good distance back, so I never felt harried (though I did attempt to maintain at least 20mph to repay his consideration).
We were clearly going in the same direction, as I rounded Cameron Toll still in front, and even though I moved left on Lady Road, confident in your driver's ability to pass me safely, he waited until it was clear that I was going straight on to Esslemont Road and he was turning up Craigmillar Park.
The whole time your driver inspired absolute confidence in what he was doing, and hopefully he saw the couple of times I gave him a thumbs up.
Many thanks
Anth
