76 on 2nd December!! And you're right.. old age seems to come upon you suddenly! But keep young at heart.. and enjoy your sausages..

[@fatbloketravels]

Doing well Peter - keeping spinning the discs!!

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!

[@twocanchew6998]

Oh and then the f##kin doors on the box were bent as nine bob note, the shutter helped out with a bloody great sledgehammer 😂😂

Shunter

[@fatbloketravels]

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!

Jools when you went up the Upton way by the football ground go straight over 2 roundabouts and that is the top end of Gladstone road saves going around a big square.

[@fatbloketravels]

Thanks for the info, I'm bound to forget to do that next time!!

[@fatbloketravels]

Thanks for watching everything-that's beyond the call of duty! Yep there are some folk on the road that clearly do not have a licence!

[@arthurbolton8477]

[@fatbloketravels]

Good stuff - stay safe!

[@rachelanne9486]

Who’s the oldest? I’m ahead of you, young man - and I add another year next week 😜 I’m also working on my theory stuff before learning to drive a coach at a ripe old age. It’s about 38 years since I took a driving test 😮

[@fatbloketravels]

Who are you going to be driving for? I used to work for Damory out of Pimperne and as they got bought out by Go-Ahead who also owned Wilts & Dorset managed to transfer down to Lymington - To be honest found it soul destroying! Good luck - At least you know when you will be home and how long your day will be!

[@rachelanne9486]

@@fatbloketravels at the moment I have no plans to drive coach or truck full time because I have a house cat who tells me off if I’m away too long. I do have a plan and source for casual work, to go alongside and fit in with my full time work and my agency truck driving. Can’t say too much on an open forum - you know how it is 😜
