Back to the 80s


Booked off tonight, and suddenlly got a flashback to the 80s, (my owner driver days… when I was a bigger cowboy than John Wayne…anything goes, anything went in those days.
16 hours 45 minutes driving time today …a good shift eh? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Had 9 off last night…(a rarity in it’s self) up this morning sorting myself out, pressed what I thought was the ‘OK’ button on tacho to light it up and check the time, pressed the 'Driver 1’button with my sausage fingers by mistake, then hurriedlly pressed it back…or tried to, too late I had booked on at 8 hours 57…so consequently yesterdays driving time continued today.:roll_eyes:

Got 2 hours down the road dashboard readout telling me my driving time ‘‘was up’’.
Anyhoo did the usual printout stuff, and rang the office, so no dramas.
That’s my defence anyhow.:joy:
Just thought the 16 + hours looked good.:grin:

We will make a 15 hour teararse out of you yet

When I saw the photo I thought you’d pulled a short shift…

:grin:…At least it showed a 45 min break… in the ‘‘27 hour spreadover’’.:joy:

Quite frankly I’m not impressed with your cavalier attitude to this blatant wuckfittery! You’re supposed to be a grown up and a role model for young and aspiring drivers! It’s simply not good enough.

If I manage to beat the man with every major police force on speed dial I’ll just say that THIS is exactly why DCPC courses are such an invaluable tool in our armoury!

May I suggest that next time you attend one you endeavour to stay awake?

Yours Sincerely

Disgruntled of Yorkshire.

I bet one guy on here…(clue 5 letter name starts with ‘C’ ends with ‘R’…with an ‘on’ between them :grin:) .has already informed the Old Bill.:grin:

Thing is though when I gave the cpc guy the thick brown envelope under the viaduct that day, he said I’d be fine.:joy:

Go for 24, just for a laugh.

Our hero will have an organism (sic) when he sees that.

Which particular one?
We have a couple of ‘‘heroes’’ on here.:joy:

There can only be one and he is…wait for it…the fount of all knowledge, the one and only, the magnificent, Mr CF. :heart_eyes:

In fairness the fella takes some stick but I fear he’s the author of his own downfall. Whenever we think his posting CAN’T get more bizarre…they do.

He’s on the way to Oz to lecture the Australian government and transport ministers how to do their job, first class ticket on a Qantas Airbus A380 on a one way ticket.

Does not need a ticket, He’s flying the plane!!

To be fair you completely lost me at pressing the/an OK button.I don’t remember that on a Kienzle or a Veeder Root.Also other strange stuff I hear about cards and a card slot and print outs.

You mean a turbo prop or propeller plane or are we talking of wing walking?

Deleted. Not important.
