I know what Paul means, it’s bad enough having the company name all over the truck without it being in a different colour as well. You can’t get away with much then, at least in the standard livery you have a fighting chance unless somebody clocks your reg number! However even that didn’t work for me as I allegedly ripped the door off of a GPO van near Lichfield, despite the truck and myself being in Sheffield at the time! Another bollocking from the TM before I had the chance to tell him the truth, no apology from him though.

The best is yet to come Coomsey , once you’ve accepted that everything is your fault it’s plain sailing . 58 years for me this year and I must have got shorter because everything goes over my head . Yes love , you’re right love are the magic words in case you hadn’t noticed .
Haha, it’s 46 years for us as well in March assuming she puts up with me until then! ‘A women’s faults are many but men have only two, everything they say and everything they do!’
