If its the same Billy Holland who worked at MTS Fauldhouse then i remember him aswell, the one i knew was from that area. Oh and think i remember some middle east stories told aswell!! 
Billy tripped over a chain on the boat and hurt his leg quite badly. Got himself a nice claim and is enjoying his retirement. By the way, lots of his stories had more than a basis of truth in them but his adage would be that there is no point spoiling a good story by sticking exactly to the truth. 
I spoke to Billy last night and he’s going to look in on the site.
iam billy holland and in reply to your various comments,
(a) like a lot of drivers that worked a full day and most of the night we did need a shower but it was not always available, sure we went over the hrs abroad but that was a chance you took at your on risk when you were going home after 6 weeks abroad.
(b) as for the porky pies did these drivers go to the middle east ? if not how would they no that they were, I have sat in many transport cafes listening to drivers boasting of driving to the middle east and by there talk you new they had never been there and instead of judging the behind there back i challenged them to there face.
(c) reference coca cola cowboys i had a brief mention in the book.
(D)with regards to Brittany ferries i recieved very little cash a they had refused to sign up to the new Geneva convention they stood by the old rules that said that the sum paid was very small so if it went to court i would have lost and as they agreed a sum slighly over this sum i had to take it but by the time i paid my sick pay back to the nhs and other nhs costs i recieved very little, so i would any driver travelling with this ferry to take out the private insuranc available in the booking in office
