a proper lorry driver would never use rope pete , an old fan belt is much more reliable should the sheep be a bit overactive . you can be forgiven though as you are only in the foothills of the peak district . we are more thrifty in the HIGH peak , rope costs money you know . cheers dave
TIGHT is another word for it Dave, and it appears (looking at posts on the 'Professional Drivers Forum) that I was not a ‘proper lorry driver’ anyway as I only drove rigid tippers.

Sounds as if they have a leisure centre in Dan’s village Pete. I can’t say to much, as he’s helped me out in the past.
Cheers Dave.No problem Dave, I hadn’t realised that he had let you borrow the rope and wellies. Say no more squire

Not with sheep Pete. Advice on the master race vehicles.
Cheers Dave.

Ah, got it now Dave, Trabant! 
Goats eat those apparently, sheep are more selective.

This five cylinder Trabant Pete. Dan has save me a lot of money, giving me tips on where to sort minor problems, instead of being ripped off by main dealers.
Cheers Dave.
Dan seems a decent bloke Dave, I don’t know him all that well but if he is 'owt like his old man he will help anyone. Most folk from Bonsall are like that, they help each other as they are all related anyway! Like a lot of villages the old families are dying off or moving away due to housing costs which is a shame, Dan himself has gone up market and moved up the hill to Middleton. ( ) At one time Bonsall was a big Lead or Spar Mining community but alas that is all long gone. H. Loxley had a few Bedfords etc in Ballidon, they finished years ago but there are still some smaller hauliers based there though working from what few quarries we have remaining.
Pete.
I’ve met Dan a couple of times on the Gravel Run. A nice bloke,also very helpful if I give him a bell regarding Trabant Pete…
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Larry have never danced on the dancefloor or come to think of it any other floor
so I reckon me on the table is a definite no no, now under the table as a result
of too much to drink now there’s a real possibility, even in my “on the hunt days”
I managed to “pull” without having to make myself look a prat to music, hic hic.
thanks harry, long retired.

I’m not a dancer either. However, fuelled with Sangria at one of those Spanish get togethers on my Honeymoon in 1974, I did climb upon the table and wave at everyone to be quiet. The room went into hushed embarrassed silence.
At which point I asked ‘what do you think of the show so far?’
A couple of hundred Brits replied as one ‘RUBBISH!’
to the total bemusement of the Spanish serving staff!
Happy days!
John.

Well Harry, Im a dancer, Ive danced on a few tables in my younger days, & That’s when I drank shandys, Of course now that Im getting on in years Im limited to what I can do on the dance floor, Mind you I get carried away lots of times when Ive had several Malts & become Lorenzo, There is no holding me back if the Ladies are up for a bit of good old Boogie, Mind you my good Lady dosent like it sometimes, But she likes me to enjoy myself of course, Rock On Eh, Regards Larry.

Hiya,
Larry if my Missus saw me do anything more energetic than reach for my glass
she’d most likely take my temperature and phone for an ambulance.

Hiya,
Well fellow Trucknetter’s I’ve just returned home after dropping the granddaughter
off at a “grass roots” summer playgroup, on coming through the door my Missus says
she has recorded a Stobart Transport thingy for me, but fellow Trucknetter’s there
is nothing to fret over I immediately hit the delete button, she retorted with you
having been a lorry driver I thought you would have enjoyed watching something to
do with lorries to which I replied Ah’ but dearest as you know I was a “proper driver”
and there is a world of difference, she sails very close to the wind occasionally.
thanks harry, long retired.
I told you she needed to attend one of my overpriced Training Days!

She needs disciplining Harry, using VERY expensive electricity for such nonsense. Get a grip of her before she gets any worse. Tell her any more of it and you’ll stop her ■■■ ration for a while.
