Just out of interest anyone still on the cb?When glancing at cabs I only seem to see Ariel’s on tippers so I guess they like them alot.
I’ve got one but I can’t remember the last truck it was in. I’m hoping to get a start with ESL though, loads of good buddies on there to have a chat with I would imagine.
Afternoon Mullens,
Used to have 1 in Wilkos truck but just sat inna bag in shed now along with my 4ft long airhorns!
Big noise yeah!
Think its very niche!

I still use one. It was rather entertaining this morning, listening to drivers from the firm who took a job off us (gladly, it was in Oxford and was some crap stuff) moaning about how bad the job is.

Perhaps they use them to communicate with the loading shovel 
I have a set up at home for Ham use,out of curiosity only the other day,I flicked through the CB frequencies,NOTHING all the way through from 1-40 even on SSB
I’ve got one lots of tipper and bulked drivers still use the in London.
Hardest thing is finding someone else that speaks English.
Yes but only to communicate with the ■■■■■■ if wide loading .
Fridge men running for the boats still chatting away on the A75/77/A55/41!!![emoji6]

an interpreter may be required for those not overly familier with tang dialect though…

no chance. 
if you’re from a different depot from the despot they’ll ignore you, face to face if you utter the words " good morning! " 
wait til you go to a southern depot if you’re a northern monkey! it’s like having three heads, especially the old crick depot before they went to rugby. 10 - 4 ?

Anybody remember the half French half Irishman in a Paddywagon about 20 yrs ago (a lethal combination btw ) who always finished his setences with Oui Oui Oui…like ‘‘Yeh bejeezuz that’s roight.oui oui oui’’
…ok just me then.

Still use mine but only if I am running with a mate, I leave the squelch turned right up so only drivers near to me can be heard. I listen to BBC Radio 2, radio 4 or Heart FM Northamptonshire using the Tune in app, the CB takes second place.
I fitted a thunderpole T-2000 to mine a couple of months back.
Used it a few times but there’s rarely much conversation on CBs these days.

Translation- I say,that chap heading towards Carlisle, you have a clear road all the way to Todhills (young uns won’t know anything about the moss 
),the traffic police have stopped near the Teapot Cafe at Skyreburn,and some of their colleagues have headed back to the station, so apart from that everything’s tickety-boo (or something like that!)

The Moss was the cafe / roadhouse its now the first filling station after you hit the M6 south after you come off the A75 . Its now posh and sofisticated (frothy coffee and sausage rolls lol) In years gone past you sometimes had to cook your own tea . You stopped for the craic - not the food .
