Dolph:
I would love to see British driver in EE delivery without sat nav, after that he/she will be praising the Lord for British infrastructure and road signage
I beg to differ, with a population density four times higher than Bulgaria, it would be much harder to find places in the UK.
My place recently fitted some sort of job nav thing. I’ve had a go at working it but it’s tediously drawn out. Ultimately the plan is that we will have to spends ages putting stuff into it like daily checks and I guess when we tip or collect. It’s got a sat nav on it, tried it once, but it’s rubbish compared to my tomtom 5150, so never actually used it and never will unless I’m forced to. I can honestly say if using this thing is made mandatory I’ll find another job, I’ll be ■■■■■■ if I’m spending ages fannying about on a computer when a sheet only takes seconds to fill in. If I was paid hourly it wouldn’t be a problem, but I’m not, so it’ll just mean extra work for nothing.
Dolph - I hearby christen you, Trollski Flipflopski.
Good work.
F-reds:
Dolph - I hearby christen you, Trollski Flipflopski.Good work.
Yeap is good work, coz I don’t need sat nav to drive truck and make pick up’s or deliveries. Let alone refuse a load/trip for not heaving one.
“I can’t believe I worked delivery in a city of 10 million and drove truck in the lower 48 States all on paper road atlases and dispatch directions”.
Im expecting next thread to be something in the line of:“I was asked to drive manual truck in my yard, never done it before, what should I do”.
P.S. By the way, you owe me a shirt 
Dolph - you appear to have chosen of your own free will to leave Bulgaria and live, work and earn money much the the same as we English people. Hurrah for the EE, yes??
You seem to now favour taking anti English viewpoints on a few things. Is this what our government mistakenly calls integration?
Read a book entitled “how to win friends and influence people” when you find time. It might just make you more agreeable.

What is anti English, making fun of drivers who cant work without sat nav or automatic gears, complaining all the time? So Brits can make fun of all else, but cant take a joke?
I don’t know what UK Gov calls integration, most I here in the forum is EE this, EE that, flip flops, soviets, communists, cant drive, buying licences, living on benefits etc. When I’ve never done this things, always work my ■■■■ off, always paid my deeds, always follow the law, got my licence by the book, but you see Im branded because Im from South East Europe. Thankfully not all Brits are like some people here on the board.
“Win friends”, those who want to be friends with you yeah, how do you make friends with people who openly dislike you for simply being from EE, people who think of you as benefit scrounger etc? And I’ve not even set a foot in UK.
P.S. If being against sat nav makes me anti English, I’m simply speechless 
P.P.S. Have you asked yourself what UK is doing wrong when come’s to integration of immigrants into British society and way of life? Why USA, CAN,AUS etc. all descendants of UK can integrate people and UK cant. Even the illegal South Americans in US are more integrated then legal immigrants in UK.
Dolph - In no particular order :
First point - youre not "making fun" when ranting - you mean it. So do we. Dont backpedal.
Second point - if all you see on this forum is racist slurs and putdowns, i suggest you make the effort to read a wider spread of threads. Theres a whole lot more going on here than your preferred subject matter. You will also find that we brits take the mickey a whole lot more than most nations. We are the best on the planet at it, and can take it back also (most of the time) - indeed many nations have not yet evolved to the point where they understand the concept behind this. You will learn, grasshopper. Third point - being against satnav does not make you anti- english. Dont be such a prick. (I do, however, sometimes wish it DID make you speechless)
Fourth point - If you really believe that the countries you mention are a shining example of multi racial harmony, you urgently need educating as to the realities. What a load of ■■■■■■■■■.
I don`t have the slightest problem with you or your countrymen, Dolph. I have a problem when they accept with open arms the conditions and improvements to their lives that they came here expecting and hoping for, then, having settled in to their new, more comfortable circumstances, feel at home enough to start slating, for example, the education system, infrastructure and workers of their host country (ringing any bells here?)
■■■■■■■:

I reckon once an immigrant starts complaining about the traffic, health care, benefit scroungers and education they’ve probably integrated pretty well.

Oh boy…here we go again
First Im joking, because I’ll not believe a driver with 30 years experience(who probably know UK as the palm of his hand) will refuse load for the simple reason of not heaving sat nav. There is some else there we don’t know.
And in general I refuse to believe experienced professional drivers(UK, BG, US, D, any country) will not work because they don’t have sat nav. I’ll keep mocking this issue because its ridiculous, regardless of driver nationality. If I can manage in foreign country on a paper map, natives can do it with no problem. Simply people refuse, because its easy to relay on a gadget. Bringing back to the subject of the thread, if employers wants his driver to have sat nav, then he buy it for him/her, for everything else there is Britain road atlas.
Second, no I don’t find only racist slurs, I also find very nice, polite and decent people, hence Im still here. But in many, many thread I see downgrading remarks, just in this thread for stating my point of view Im called flip flop, troll.
Third, then why Im call of having anti English view point? What is anti English view points?
Fourth yes I do believe that this countries are example of multi racial harmony, where the laws of the land are mandatory for everyone regardless of skin color, religion or nationality. What we see in Europe is a joke, take the muslim communities in western EU, Britain included, or gypsy communities in Eastern EU etc. integration means nothing, nada. Have you seen second generation American Muslims, Eastern Europeans or Mexicans and same or similar people in UK and the rest of Western EU? Can you make comparison onto their integration?
In other words, its immigrants fault because there is lack of schools, infrastructure and native workers being screwed by employers, not the UK government that turned people against each other by its idiotic policies?
Well if I become citizen of UK and Im paying taxes I’ll be ■■■■■■ of to, let immigrants in, without thinking how they will be accommodated, educated, health cared, on what roads they will travel etc. Its Gov work to sort out all of this problems, no individual can build highways, schools or deport immigrants.
you go Dolph, nothing here that will add to the list of prejudices people have/might have against the eastern europeans
Dolph:

Sounds much like UK law to me. Pity it doesn`t work out like that in the real world though. (btw, you forgot gender and ■■■■■■■■■)
Naive, my friend, Very naive. Im not picking arguments with you here Dolph - as i say, i really have no problem with you. USA - Coloureds (of multiple nationalities), Puerto Ricans, Mexicans. Just 3 examples of folk do not generally feel integrated nor welcomed in the land of the free. Thats a vast number of alienated people right there.
Canada - Read, absorb, and remember…
macleans.ca/news/canada/out- … of-mind-2/ Not very harmonious, my friend.
Australia - Native Aboriginals, Vietnamese, Chinese, Middle eastern, Asian and so on.

I don`t expect you to read through these, but just wake up to the fact that multi racial harmony can never be more than a misty-eyed pipe dream, Wherever in the world you want to think of.
Meanwhile, back on the original subject… Rog. Buy a sat nav you tight-fisted get. It`s a relatively inexpensive aid, not a platinum ingot ffs.

Multi racial harmony can exist only if people are willing to adopt host country culture, habits, language, mind set and obey its laws etc in my view. All of the people you write about, they don’t want to be Australians, Americans, British or Canadian, they want to bring their native country into their new host country and create little Vietnam, China or whatever. Neither I like nor I agree with this.
Im white European, Christian, I like very much western culture and values. Where do you think I’ll emigrate and integrate better, UK, Ghana or Saudi Arabia?

Bloody hell I forgot what the thread was about.
Why should he if he can navigate without one, 
and anyway according to some you’re not a proper truck driver if you use a sat nav.
Jeez muckles - did i just detect the all-too-familiar sound of a can of worms being cracked open?

Well we’ve only got to 3 pages, and when I saw some of the posts I put a bet on for at least 20.

Will reach 20 nae bother, might take a few resurrections but as some manky old worms are being dragged back to life from 2003 anything is possible 
If I was the boss, and a driver did not have a satnav and knew how to use a map and knew his way around, i’d hire him on the spot!
Proves to me driver has a brain and uses it.
