One of their drivers came over to me ystdy showing me a text on his phone with a address on it ,this fella stunk like a ferret and could not speak a word of english,i tried to explain to him where he was going on a map but it was like trying to rake ■■■■ upstairs ,he then ran over to his motor and jumped in the passenger side and thought his steering wheel had been nicked :open_mouth: :confused: :unamused:

perfect example of uk trucking nowadays…to be fair,if you could earn 4 times as much driving in flipflop land,then we would all be driving through krakov etc now… :slight_smile:

It’s just exactly the same as us Brits driving for the Cloggies in the 80s/90s so let them get on with it I say.
Best way of dealing with jumping in passenger side is to pretend that you are looking for something :smiley: …so I’m told :wink: :blush: :blush:

This bloke was not the type of driver you are on about robroy,he was carrying on like it was his first day ever in a lorry and to make it worse a new country ,to be fair to a i m they must have realised that because it looked like they had given him the yard shunter because they usually have good kit but the scania he had was rough to say the least.

That is a brilliant expression. I’m going to have to use that in The Angel tonight.

your right there…in the 60s and 70s all the paddys were over in England building the motorways…in the 80s everybody in the building trade was doing there auf weiderschen pet stuff,now because of the woosy government,then its all Taliban flipflop trucking,its not their fault for being allowed to come here and work…what goes round…the only problem I have is the dole hopping parasites that come in on their shirt tails… :frowning:

Obviously you have never been anywhere south of Dover then eh?.. and CERTAINLY not in a Foreign registered truck.
I’d better warn you that if ever you do, and you find yourself completely lost, English is not the first language over there. So bearing that in your mind, I hope that you don’t come across some prick, that for no reason, other than being a prick, decides to send you to the other side of Nijmegen or somewhere to make sure that next time you speak Dutch.
Ffs! :unamused: , some of the bloody crass comments on here…and from fellow drivers !:shock:
never cease to amaze me. Or is it just me?

On the few occasions my Sat Nav hasn’t taken me to a foreign delivery point. I have asked in the best way where I could make myself understood, and been shown the way by locals of many countries. What goes around and all that.

I’ve always known it as trying to push water uphill with a rake, but the sentiments the same.

No, it’s not just you. Some of the comments on here beggar belief. :unamused:

Or it might have been a brand new motor & he’d already done a local. Lol.

ive been lost in most European countries,and well lost the 3 times I went to Saudi years ago,ive had to just block the road,and confront taxis,cars,and anyone I could find to help me,the only greif ive ever had was a few times in france/Germany etc when they thought I was English.that passed once they knew I was Scottish,and although lots couldn’t speak a word of English,and my foreign conversational skills somewhat lack,then in the hundreds of times ive been stuck,although someone couldn’t help me,then nobody has ever deliberately stuffed me.personally id be up there in the top 5 for being racist in respect of what has and is happening to the uk,and Ireland,and my personal views and comments get me greif now and again.( post removed etc) but a drivers a driver,and if you cant help your own,then who can? the guys making a buck no doubt for his family,its not his fault the uk has an open door policy.if I could earn 5 times my average wage driving abroad,then that’s where id be working,and that’s all he is doing.telling him,no idea,and dismissing him would do if you cant be bothered with him,but not to deliberately stuff him…im away to put my halo back on now… :smiley:
