Lorry spotting

[RichardCranium]

Errrr is that safe?

Given how many drivers are on the 'phone, probably not.

Time to turn off onto the A57

[RichardCranium]

I believe he's in a traffic jam on the way to the CUK Manchester do; I further suspect that Mrs RC is driving

She most certainly is.

We need a Google Maps mashup

[Mich the Tester]

She most certainly is.

You let a Mrs drive the contractormobile?

[NickFitz]

She most certainly is.

Give her my regards

No Stobarts and no Norberts yet.

I regularly see lots of "threaded's" lorries. All sorts: diggers, tippers, 3 tons, HGVs, even an experimental road train. Might be because I own the company and some of them park in a yard over the field.

I can't stop her, it's her Sovereign.

And anyway, with my drinking habit, I am not going to marry a non-driver!

[RichardCranium]

Give her my regards

Mrs RC says:

"Say hello Mr NickFitz it's nice to hear from him or something I'm busy driving."

Pre-1990 communist times it was interesting to see trucks from Romania. The cargo was usually something like matches or cloths pegs. The driver and his wife travelled dressed in gipsy style clothes. Using the motorway services cafes was beyond their means and so they used to pull into lay-bys and boil a kettle and cook food on the side of the road.
