Boxing day rates!

That looks an awful lot like Staxton Hill near Scarborough.

Well spotted, that’s exactly where it was

I think we can say without doubt that the aimer would not have the ability to handle this.

Dascams have come on leaps and bounds since those days ^^^😂 unfortunately driving skills haven’t.

That sinking feeling when you are hoping for the hill to run out before you catch the slow mover and have to ease off.

Never had a Scammel, but deffo had similar type stuff.
You forget how 'kin noisy those old trucks were in the cab.
Today a truck is basically a big car…not in those days.

I remember my first Volvo F10 after coming off ERFs Sed Atks and the like, and being absolutely gobsmacked when I discovered I could actually hear myself whisper when driving along :flushed:
(…I also discovered that day I actually do talk to myself.:joy:)

Don’t worry, it’s only a problem when you start arguing with yourself. :thinking:

Even bigger problem when you start answering back !!

I do BOTH of them.:thinking:

It’s the only way to have a sensible conversation these days.

I’m familiar with the concept of SWMBO, but what’s the TS for?

I know it’s all a joke, I get that (and I aint specifically referring to the o/p) …
But I’ve never subscribed to the joke of putting across or implying that I am ruled by my Mrs, I find it a bit of a degrading type of … ‘‘Grow a pair ffs’’ situation.
Tbh I have always held a slight degree of contempt towards those who let their wives or partners rule the ■■■■ out of them all the time.
They (women) ALL try it on at first, but it’s a bit like bosses at work, you need to set your parameters from day 1.

I sent this to a load of mates over the hols

I got mostly ‘lol’ type replies, but you could tell the odd one or two who came back with the… ‘Whats that supposed to mean like ?’ type replies,.maybe a bit close to home?
Mainly the one or two who always have a reason to not come out.:roll_eyes::joy:

you have the rest down the TS stands for “thinks she” :laughing:

Thankfully not a problem I have, I’m very happily unattached, makes for a far more peaceful life :sunglasses:

Hmmm… I would suggest there’s one one major exception to that - daughters:
I have one and I know you have at least one yourself.
Be honest, is there anything you would refuse to do for “Daddy’s little girl” when you’re asked? Bearing in mind that “title” that has no relation to actual chronological age

Oh God yes, both my daughters can and regularly do twist me around their little fingers. that is how it works with a Dad and his daughter… as you know.

I was on about a man woman thing…
In a relationshp women see it as their job to try and mould blokes into the way they want them…it’s what they do.
A lot of blokes end up dumping ther mates and end up as some kind of servant with not a great married life.

I have seen it many times and in my younger life I made a pact with myself to not fall into the trap.
My Mrs gave up at a very early stage tryingto change me, but I have to admit I have been ‘tamed’ to a point, (had to be really) but not had a complete forced personality change like some of my past mates who I no longer see.

I still have a social life with mates as does my wife, (her mates not mine btw :joy:) that and the periods of seperation down to the job, have worked for us both for a hell of a long time, and continue to do so.

No bloke enjoys being under the thumb.

Marriage is a partnership of equals, not a master/slave relationship.

Happy wife, happy life.

Not a easy one to identify, i knew many a man who i thought would never change yet they met someone and lived a stabled life and not under the thumb
There has to be some influence from the partner to make people change that much plus in some cases even being under the thumb probably makes that persons life better
You only get that when you meet fellow truck drivers and ask yourself how does that person even dress themselves in the morning
