Got to the garage (just about) at last.

That's a real letter, I assumed a spoof ?

Genuine, here's mine:


The lunatics who are currently in charge of the asylum have realised that after decades of ignoring a fairly vital industry the country is basically in the s**t so they've resorted to making an appeal for anyone who has an HGV licence but doesn't drive a wagon to get back behind the wheel.

I fear it's too little too late and the shortage of drivers is so bad that it will take years to recover from it. This has been coming for decades now and won't be solved by fancy words and sweet promises so my tip is to prepare for a winter of discontent..

 

[Munkul]

Can see it now.... clap for wagon drivers.

Can see it now.... clap for wagon drivers.

That shouldn't happen if they wear a condom...

Although I cant know your vehicles specific details but on my car when the add blue light comes on I've got about 1000 miles to refill so no need to worry.

I was not expecting to do over 6000 miles without the light coming on, so decided to put 5L in and be safe in the knowledge that it won't go into limp home mode on the long journey home.

Having driven buses in London that use AdBlue, I learnt not to trust the AdBlue gauge.

She was probably just pulling her thong out of her crack.

Please stop, that paints an even worse mental pic.

I could have done some hgv driving this summer, but as my license is being renewed due to needing a medical every year now (age 60), none of the agencies will talk to me with a license that says expires xx/06/2021.
By the time it is renewed the clocks will have gone back and I refuse to drive long hours on unlit main roads in Lincolnshire - or should that be cart tracks, the state they are in.

So did I, and I was fairly livid about the fact that yet another "ivory tower" wonder is telling me how wonderful I am .

Before next week is out Baroness Vere of Nobtown will be receiving a reply from a plain speaking Yorkshireman telling her quite a few home truths about the haulage industry .

Would you like to PM me with a copy & I'll pop it in next doors mail box as they both supposedly recorded as working for the Swansea DVLA chicken hut .

Who wants to be a driver?
I’ve only got a license as I have a large machinery and truck fetish

 

[Barking Mat]

Is that really an official title : Minister for roads, buses and places ?

Wow...

Wow...

If you google her name it leads to the gov site and gives the details. Fascinating stuff!!

 

[Jan-DIY]

Good that you sorted your fuel shortage.
Next time somebody needs to cut your sugar supply to avoid such terrible things which posted before.

WHAT are you wishing on them . Surely they deserve better rewards than that.

I think it sounds more like an old pop song. Thinking about it that sounds about right.

It must be said that she's quite an alluring wench .

Having said that, Nicola Sturgeon does it for me so what that says about my taste, or lack thereof, is anybody's guess

Thats nearly as vomit inducing as the picture of the "lady" with her fist down the back of her pants....

Thought the HGV medical included a sight test

You just want to hope that's only as far as the fist made it.
