Dave & Harry, my idea of a very good driver is, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: get labourers to do their work, and the driver to do the driving. :blush: :blush: :blush: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Now they have forklifts, when they used to employ men. :cry: :cry: :cry: The same with navies, they have been replaced with diggers, dockers been replaced by containers. But the worst tragedy is " Men replaced by viberators". :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Trouble is Norm there are no jobs for the people that haven’t got the IQ to do a skilled job.Years ago there were labouring jobs and general farm work and such ,where people with learning difficulties could hold down a job with someone to keep an eye on them and tell them what to do. There is very little for those people in the modern world.
My dad had a drivers mate with him until the mid 1950’s,but those jobs came to an end. Everything is mechanised now.
Soon the women won’t need a man. :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Mine has not needed me for years, :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: only for bringing the cash home :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: I suppose if she could get her own money machine, I would be surplus to requirements! :blush: :blush: :blush: :cry: :cry: :cry: but she is a very good housekeeper and tenders to my other needs. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Blackpool Norm plenty of sand and might be able to trade her in for
a couple of racing donkey’s off the beach.

hiya,
Anyone remember the GPO telegram boys riding bikes between the post office
and the recipitents home, my mother had high hopes for me doing that job but
it wasn’t to be I went down the pit instead, seemingly my Mother had seen the
film “How green is my valley” and she didn’t want me working underground, It
didn’t stop her taking board and lodging’s off me on payday though.
