Meet Errol 79 years young and still on the spanner’s and driving lorry’s

[@jimmimac265]

You could stand and chat to a chap like that for hours on end, Chris. Old school legend. You are one of the most genuine respectful guys I have ever come across.

[@Professional-struggler]

Cheers Jimmy mate.. bloody good

[@mattdHGV]

Old Errol, knackered fingers and the old chaps got his arm chilling on the mudwing under a cab with a shot ram 😂😂 some boy

[@Nypartcannon]

I have to say Chris the respect you showed Erol was very sincere. You both represent what this country used to stand for ! You are both an inspiration.

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

I watched one of your videos and it taught me how to swear, smoke and laugh on the face of a never ending struggle! Cheers Mate 😂

[@roxanne9651]

The older generation like Errol is a dying breed. The experiences that he has had and all the things he has seen must be amazing. Good on you Errol for continuing on with what you want to do. Good on you Chris for taking the time to listen to him and help him out. Your one of a kind Chris true to who you are and very respectful to the older generation. Loved the video keep them coming. 👏👍🇨🇦💕

[@raygreene73]

Chris you need to do a series of videos on these old boys their stories need to be heard and not forgotten love hearing them keep them coming nothing like a good war stories

[@martenclark9728]

Good call helping Errol out Chris , poor old lad , you could tell how appreciative he was and I imagine at his age after his life asking for help isnt an easy task . I'm not gonna lie as a slightly older old git myself It made me feel proud of you to see you help him out , 79 👊 the guys a whole different machine to the youth of today , England was built by men like Errol . Bless him , I think he needs to be a new regular struggler star with a weekly call in to see how hes getting on and if he needs a hand 😎

[@jimlondon1]

Erroll is a rare breed. I could listen to elders like him for hours.

[@malcelwell7209]

Hiya Chris, what a lovely man he is . Put some of these young kids to shame 👌💪

[@PillSharks]

Bloody love listening to that old boy. All the old drivers I worked with would say the same, help other drivers out if you can! Them days are long gone unfortunately..

[@johnburrows9558]

I'm besotted with episodes like this one Chris,absolutely brilliant

[@Davidthomasv8]

Chris I'm like that Erroll I'll be working till I'm 80 I'm nearly 64 and I just least a van for the next 4 years .

[@darrenjones4480]

Chris by spending the day and listening to Errol you will of made his day 👏🏻

[@WaY7491CrA]

pass my regards on to Errol, played football with him.Ernie.

[@Richard-z5c]

Thanks Chris, great to hear Errol's stories and that he is still working at 79. I have been on the spanners for 56 years now and still working, it keeps you motivated.

[@yarkmates3409]

How weird the old boy talking about Pelham bridge , only just drove over it 😂😂 What a guy Errol is fair play ,

[@dince4031]

What a top bloke I love listening to the older generation drivers and they're stories.

[@ChrisandHeathervanlife]

My old man came back from the war and started working for his uncle who had some old American wagons. His uncle had an REO speedwagon with a broken throttle cable so he was sat on the wing while his uncle drove it into the yard when he slipped and went into the fan severing all the tendons in his hand. Was told by the doctor he would never use it again but my grandfather who was a dairy farmer put him to work hand milking his herd. A week later he went to the doctor and opened his hand up, the doctor couldn't believe it.

[@johnlad1481]

Long as errol still enjoys it thats the mean thing abit of struggling lad lol

[@MyMike1946]

Brilliant video, at 77 I changed a dual mass flywheel and Clutch on a Nissan working on my back, almost beat me but I struggled on. Took nearly a week to recover. As I’ve said many times never again until the next time.

[@jix177]

Once again showing your knack for sniffing out interesting people! What a top man, loved hearing his stories.

[@chrisbrayne5263]

Really enjoyed that Chris , proper decent of you to take the time ,there’s plenty that wouldn’t. Be sure to let Errol know he’s going down a storm 👏👏👏

[@markknox9902]

It’s great listening to old drivers because it was much better back when you lift wat you wanted to without being told wat to do all the time

[@125sm3]

Errol is typical of that generation they just keep going , My grandad was the same . Great job Chris .

[@ManxAndy]

I would love Errol to write a book……what great stories, I wasn’t shy at the same age he was doing spuds, I was bagging 12 to 15 ton of Sand and gravel a day , 50 kg not the proxy 20 kg you get now, ,plus loading at least 10 to 15 ton of cement to customers…and in the pub 5 nights out of 7 to wash the dust down, and fit as a flea…..👍😉🇮🇲💪

[@stevehall8661]

[@umbrellaman2501]

Tommy Farr, the boxer he mentioned worked at some place, fought Joe Louis for the World Heavyweight title in 1937. And he gave Louis a really tough fight. Joe Louis was without doubt one of the best Heavyweights of all times, too.

[@mainairmik996]

[@joeorwell4323]

What a trooper, I love talking to people like Errol

[@mondodaftasabrush]

I have a fake severed hand on my tool box to remind me to work safe after a colleague whom services generators like me in the same company different location did some water pump repair fan drive belts and diidnt refit the guards and when he ran it up the container door blew closed and he got sucked to the radiator and tried to stop himself and arm went through and lost his hand. Thankfully he was in the workshop yard and thr generator rewinders where in and heard the screams and thankfully used insulating tape to stop him from bleeding to heaven Thankfully they saved him and he was flown to hospital and he recovered but I don't think he ever returned to work. I left the company shortly after to another. Daytime only struggle.. Be careful out there

[@almaxx9680]

Chris there's a blocking valve under the front grill of the cab on the Volvo, if the grill is not open the cab won't go up the fluid returns back to the pump, if the grills open and it won't go up check the valve the button on the front of it could be stuck in.

Loading and unloading a 10t load by hand. Imagine that today, theres a shortage of drivers and they don't even hand ball. Whoop whoop!

[@ManxAndy]

Evening Chris , managed to get in first , been a while since that happened, now you’re so popular….lol. 👍💪🇮🇲. Ps I can sympathise with Errol, crushed me finger in a Hydraulic press making roof trusses 35 years ago, I could see the working bits too…..😐😳and fell out of a barn on to my arse/ coccyx bone when I was 15 , couldn’t get up and walk for 20 mins , thankfully didn’t break anything…..I know what he meant with trying to move….😳🙁
