Well, referring to yourself in the third person isn’t prententious…at all*.*Yes I get the irony in me saying that.
It’s called satire.
Tis not in my nature to envy my fellow limper HGV multi-droppers for the price of a packet of cigarettes an hour, as I claim my free bus pass and concessionary travel entitlement. Grandpa will arrive in off-peak style, whether previously in a DAF, or currently muzzled in a Rugby Stagecoach omnibus.
My ‘phone does not accept incoming calls from gobby planners and although it may sound rather harsh to the ‘grafters’ among us, I couldn’t really care less whether a director can pay this month’s mortgage, or not. Minus the current stress and physical labour required, Grandpa would re-join the Yorkie Bar world of trucking, but only if it pays a living wage and not the Micky Mouse ones now on offer.
On our last legs multi-drop haulage companies, waste disposal contractors and recruiters offering a ‘fantastic opportunity’ need not apply. They may however help me across the road as befits my new found status of ‘elderly’ person.
