Do you see the flaw in your argument?

Romania were never big in matches, pre or post Ceauşescu. Furniture, however, has always been one of their biggest exports.

My neighbor had been running his furniture manufacture and export business since the 70's BTW.

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.

Dont know about matches, pegs possibly, but it was more likely to be furniture. One of my neighbors in Romania always proudly shows me his certificate for being the biggest European exporter of rocking chairs 2001-2003. Of course he has sold out to a German company now and doesn't have to work any more.

Give her my regards

Mrs RC says:

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

[RichardCranium]

You let a Mrs drive the contractormobile?

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

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

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.

No Stobarts and no Norberts yet.

[NickFitz]

She most certainly is.

Give her my regards

[NickFitz]

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

Time to turn off onto the A57

We need a Google Maps mashup

[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.
