No wonder the rest of the UK hates you so, so much.
Was delivering in London yesterday, my I'm on the bench but still getting paid job. Noticed that the majority of people in london look so ******* miserable. If you don't like it move!
Tried to turn a corner (at some traffic lights) and it was a lttle too tight. My fault, decide to reverse shunt and carry on forward.
Even though this massive lorry (9ft wide, 16ft high, 50ft long) has loud speaker shouting "WARNING: THIS BIG THING IS ABOUT TO MOVE BACKWARDS AND SQUISH YOU" (or words to that effect) people continued to walk behind me.
So I start moving backwards (very slowly) to which I hear someone hammering on the side shouting that there are people behind me. No tulip! If they waited till the light was green for them then crossed you think that they would have a greater chance to live.
Got my own devious own back though. Some big wig parks his 06 merc in the loading bay I was in, just enough room to get past but not turn (tail swing). Asked him to move it and he just walked off from the car. Decided at this point my early finish was more important than the finish on he car and moved it with the rear of the trailer as I come past. Think about it. Now unladed artic with 480 ponies and a 1000+ kN/m of tourque vs a merc paint job.
He comes out of some cafe he had been sitting at demanding my insurance details. I politley pointed out to him he was on private land under a sign saying "no liability taken for any damamge how so ever caused".
I am like 99% of delivery drivers out there a complete cock face when people do tulip to annoy me. If londoners in general were more helpful and actually looked like they gave a damn instead of burying thier heads in the copy of the newspaper they were reading then we might take more care. No wonder drivers willng to do London routes are now like rocking horse tulip and attract premium £££.
