Someone decided to let one of our drivers loose with a pen and a defect book! Maybe he should’ve tried spell checking it!
What spelling mistakes? I’m guessing he’s not British? He forms his letter m, n and r differently than we do here putting an additional curl at the start.
Even though most of the EU uses the Roman character set they don’t all write it the same. For example ask a French person to write down the number 1, 2, 7 or 9 and you’ll find they write those numbers a lot differently than we do.
Here’s some Romanian handwriting. Note how the r’s look like n (second to last word is radio) and there are extra upcurls on the start of many letters which we don’t do.
So actually he can spell and you’re taking the ■■■■ because you’re a dumb racist who thinks that he can’t because he forms his letters differently. I wonder if you can speak and spell in his native language as well as he can in ours. Somehow I doubt you know little more than “Ablo Onglazieee Manwell?”
Dont be a bloody prat. And don’t even start that crap. He’s not being racist, he’s just taking the Micky out of some handwriting. Just happens it might be from someone foreign. It wouldn’t even be racist if he’d said "this foreigner can’t spell, like all foreigners. It would be xenophobic. But he didn’t. So leave it out. Right out.

^^^^ Before prescriptions were printed from computers it would be a regular necessity for my wife, a chemist shop assistant, to call a surgery and ask for a clarification as the writing was illegible.
Jeez… someone needs a cuddle! Wasn’t being racist in the slightest but thanks for the feedback. Glad you picked up on the defect though Conor, driving around with no marker lights before setting off for a 2hr drive and then the same coming back…or is that a normal thing to do these days, ride around at night with no bloody lights, knowing full well they’re not working? I won’t say ‘that’s what a lot of foreigners do anyway’ in case I get called ‘a racist’… oops, to late on both counts
Edited to add, the relief driver, from the same country, writes in perfectly good English, the way wot we duz over ‘ere!
Rare anything makes me laugh on this forum but these posts were great.
Years ago I had a Chinese customer who came in for weeks complaining of chapped lips. They looked fine toe but I humoured him. Turns out weeks later I realised it was cracked ribs. Made me chuckle
I am not reading racisim in this thread. The race card gets pulled out at the slightest pretend offence these days and should not be confused with good old fasioned bigotry.
Years ago when I worked in the stores of a factory, I was boredso flicked through the accident book. Somebody had done something where they’d scraped their knuckles, but it read “I scarpered my kunckles”. I found it very amusing.

Did he scrape them on the floor by dragging them
Steady. Someone may take offence on behalf of someone else…

To be honest, I was enjoying Dipper Dave’s take on Wonking, so the fact the author of the defect report might be foreign hadn’t even crossed my mind until Conor piped up all offended for them.
And as he has some mind reading capability to know how the author might feel, I’m going to do the same and from my considerable experience of working with people from across the World, I’d say the author might find our take on Wonking as funny as we do.
