Mrs TT made me turn it over because I kept throwing ■■■■■ at the tv.
Laurie is hot though.
Super Stu’s mrs would do for a poke if the telly was broke.
I uttered the c word with regard the Scottish pillocks and she put a stop to me watching it.
C Word is banned in my house. Ah well… Worth it
Well, made it to just beyond the 1st adverts, purely to see what the programme format was like.
Entertaining? - Better to spend the time watching Horrible Histories on CBBC
The cast? - Largely the sort of attention-seeking types that populate Big Brother
True to life? - To be fair, it’s not supposed to be, but it did lend the C5 Stobart programme the sort of documentary gravitas reserved for The World at War 
ajt:
You lot fair take your television seriously. At the end of the day it was purely entertainment.Bet some of you think Coronation Street is real
you mean it isn`t!!
They have to use some poetic licence to make everyday mundane activities look exciting.I mostly noticed how ready the participants were to stab each other in the back,no solidarity there then.Mrs, Thatcher will be pleased,oops she is dead.!The figures that were being bandied about made no sense.
The Usual fake rubbish of a program, but I will defo be watching. Helloooo Laurie
Anyone who thinks this was for real should listen to the narration. each time they clearly said that the “auctions” were especially set up for the programme
I have met Stuart on a couple of occasions and if you notice he didn’t take any loads- cos they didn’t pay enough - although his partner did try for a few days in the sun
Stuart has his head screwed on
I had seen Stuart in the Channel 5 show he was a contestant in and he definitely is a competent bloke but I still can’t understand why anyone would touch this sort of thing with a bargepole.

The same reason has been celebs go on “i’m a celeb get me out of here” “strictly come dancing”. It makes you money if you know what you’re doing.

Exactly… You have hit the nail on the head- same goes for the blokes on the Stobart programme- they get called all types of names but they are getting pound notes in the bank- they are more than aware its only their 15 minutes of fame- so doing the sensible thing and milking it for all they can- and some people call them idiots-I bet they laugh at that every time they bank a cheque
It was like the chuckle bothers (white van men) meets the only way is essex (the blonde bird with those hideous nails) and some lorries.

I may have missed it but where’s jocks olicence and tacho for the vauxhall and trailer have they been mentioned? Or is he less than 3.5 tonne combined weight?Exactly my thoughts and they will be over 3500kg gtw with that.
it wouldn’t matter if he was under 3.5t , if he is running for reward he needs a tacho as soon as trailer is on as he then has the capability of being over 3.5t
What if it’s a 2.2t van and the trailer was less than a ton would he still need an O licence,Tacho etc.
Not sure on that,if a combination is less than 3.5 tonne it’s exempt ,but if it is capable of exceeding 3.5 but actually isn’t doing at the time I don’t know.

If you did it would only be a simple DIY replating exercise on the trailer though to avoid it.
The whole trailer having the potential to carry thing seems to mainly have come from traffic police needing to be able to assess easily if a car driver on a B really needs B+E wihtout the hassle of going to a weighbridge every time they pull someone.
Apart from the blonde being easy on the eye rubbish viewing ,rather watch paint dry or a kettle boiling .

Stuart and Jemma are always smiling. They’ve been going to places and doing all sorts of things that most can only dream of since he won £100,000 on worlds toughest truckers. (pocket change) in the broad scheme of things.
Good luck to them.
im pretty sure russel was a judge at a truck show a couple of years back think he had a topline then with a hiab on and was on heavy haulage work seemed a decent chap to me
