Thank you for making me laugh after parking up with 5 mins to spare on a 15. Very stressed until chilling listening to you. I know it’s no good stressing but when the nob unloading me decides to have an hour break and says to me “ I was told you had lots of time” my reply was, looks like I’m spending the night on your bay then!

Yep it's very easy to get stressed, even over minor things, but sometimes the places you get tipped at really do not help! Had it many times. Had bent doors a little while ago, often happens with a heavy load as well - especially if the box is old - it warps the whole lot and the seals can double up as well!

Well aware of the laws, it also states you can't "roam" near agricultural buildings or farm houses or come to that anyone's garden - so be careful where you walk 😉 Fields are OK as long as you keep to the edges, leave as you find and don't worry livestock - if you do there are severe penalties!

I was wondering why I’d not seen you on the KZbin channel when you packed in on the containers and started doing the scrap I followed you, then you seemed to disappear . How long have you been back trucking ? I always thought about you when I was dropping Lorries off at Southampton Docks for export near the cruise terminal.

I took almost a year off from driving, then I went back to containers this summer, but only on Agency and only when I want to - it works for me - planning on moving North soon so another complete change of direction!! There is some right ropey old gear being exported out, which will probably last another 20 years in the right hands, and even then the engine will probably remployed as an irrigation pump somewhere!
