I used to play games when I was out with my dad, one was ‘how long can I sleep’ record was SE London to Glasgow in a Mandator, another was ‘how quick in the week can I spend the old mans £’ & my fave was ‘how dirty can I get while me dad did all the work’ much more fun than your games Rog :laughing:

Spot the Stobart got rid of a fair few hours when I was little!
And seeing how many different types of drinks I could wangle at the service station! (fizzy, still, milky, juice, hot chocolate, tea, energy etc…)

Funny you should say that, my dad & I used to play a game called ‘shoot the 2cv’ you’d get extra points for striped roofs, CND stickers & drivers with a beard (male or female) but the winner was a 2 tone one with Miss Piggy stickers :smiling_imp: :laughing:

Prefer Flakes myself. :wink:

I’m a stereotypical Yorkie eating truck driver and I don’t mind admitting it. :smiley:

Yep I’m incredibly good looking, with a perfectly toned body and women in open topped sports cars are forever following me into the services. :laughing: It’s a curse I tell you. :open_mouth:

Hey but as truck drivers I suppose we all have to live with that problem,:roll: Except for Lucy and her flake. I bet that make a hell of a mess of the seat when you try and take a seductive bite whilst changing gear and swearing at the pillock who’s just cut you up. :laughing:

i eat yorkies i love em i even drive a metallic blue scania with loadsa bling on it and ive got the yorkie bar song on a record shaped like a yorkie bar AND ITS NOT FOR GIRLS
ok its not all true i dont drive a metallic blue scania with loadsa bling on :frowning:

26

I am blonde, female and a fashion junkie - and a trucker.
My kids used to love telling people their mum was a trucker as I certainly did not fit any stereotype. They thought it was normal to see me in full make up with nails manicured and painted driving the truck.
Of course I love Yorkie bars - they are chocolate arent they :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
And chocolate is chocolate and we LOVE it!!

27

I used to build and fix Computers and sell other bits for a living, i sold up and i now drive for my £££, and i am a happy bunny doing it , but i dont have a lumberjack shirt or eat Yorkie’s, but i am tempted :smiley:

28

I ate a Yorkie the other day…the first one I’ve eaten for years! :laughing:

Right after that, I ■■■■■■ (audibly) in public, shouted a load of swear words at a car driver and then wolf whistled and blew the air horn at a load of fit birds in a tart’s car! :wink: I then drove off in my big truck in a white but very dirty sleeveless t-shirt (which nicely shows off the tatts on my huge guns), tailgated a load of cars whilst shouting angrily at the drivers (again), after that I pulled into the truckstop, had a big wee wee on the driver’s wheel of my truck in full public view and nipped into the canteen for a deep fried lard sarnie (without even washing my hands before!!!).

…actually, I just got in the truck (as usual), wearing my nice clean company uniform (as usual), drove the truck as professionally as 20 years experience allows (as usual), and tried to be an ambassador for the industry (as usual).

I think you’ll find the stereotypical “trucker” is a very very rare animal ,but be careful…they’re NOT for birds!

Welcome to the site young 'un…hope you have a sense of humour! :laughing: :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :sunglasses:

I,m not a sexist ignorant trucker.

I THINK WOMEN ARE GREAT
(at cleaning,cooking,washing up etc…) :laughing:

30

To be a stereotypical trucker don’t you need to speak Polish :smiling_imp:

31

Have been known to eat a odd one ,
but only after my salad , my evian and stick of celery :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

32

I eat them from time to time. The day i passed my HGV my parents bought me a Yorkie Bar lol. Dnt understand why you was ashamed of your dad though?
My dad as always been in haulage and I am proud of him, im proud of being a driver, and following in my fathers footsteps. :smiley:

I honestly couldnt think of anything else id rather be doing,
like someone else said, its not for everyone though!

Great post shrek, made me laugh out loud :laughing:
I went off chocolate at 21 and dont miss it. Thats 10 years ago. I will admit to being a bit of a devil for shortbread and a coffee after spendin some time up top in a wood.PS. thats not gay lingo :open_mouth:

34

Guess i’m another one who says a big no to the stereotpical truck driver. I’m female, Blonde, obsessed with shoes and have my in-fills done every three weeeks religously, however i have been known to eat the occasional yorkie. Don’t be nervous of it, just go out, enjoy and learn. Better to try than regret not having a go.

35

So that’s you lot told… :laughing:

36

I think someone got me a yorkie easter egg complete with a Yorkie Mug :unamused:

It’ll take pride of place on the dash :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

37

stardoco:
People don’t get it and they should, thats what I’m trying to do, get something going!

Sure some people do get it. I hope you do get something going. I’m looking forward to ‘hag a trucker week’ or summat like that. Its gonna be good. Good Luck with it !!!

“Ere” were do us “Golden Oldies” fit in with this “Yorkie Bar” eating group as we never had the choice of eating “Yorkie Bars” as our treats were “Bacon Butties” (not very nice with chocolate) :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :wink: :wink: :wink: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

39

always been a bit above your average trucker :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Must say I prefer the biscuit and raisin ones, but I’m more partial to a double decker or a crunchie to be honest.
