To be honest colin it was great to see how many drivers went over to him to see if they could help him out,as it happens it was only 2 plts out of the back doors with a forklift ,i wonder how he went on pulling the curtains :confused: to get out of the cab he thru his chair out on the end of a normal strap then lowered himself in with the winch,then to open the cab door he had like a stick with a hook because he wasnt high enough to reach it,i was talking to the security woman after hed left and the only thing he asked was if they could ring goods in because there was a flight of stairs he was unable to get up apart from that he wanted nothing,ive never seen anything like it :open_mouth: :sunglasses:

Impressive man. Maybe a few us should remember his attitude, when we moan and cry about [zb] all.

Kinda puts it all into perspective when you hear stories of this quite frankly (although I doubt he’d think so) incredible guy battling adversity to try to have a normal life as possible, and then I look out of my front window and see the useless fekker across the road in his 3 year old Jag XF with blue badge who’s never worked a day since I’ve lived here.

Apparently the poor lamb has a bad back which prevents him working, doesn’t stop him going up the ladders to clean out his gutter mind you! :smiling_imp:

How does he pull the curtains back?

15

At Wissington Beet factory there’s a chap with an artificial leg and it takes him a bit longer to get out and do the back up. I never know whether to just offer to do it for him or not. Dont want to offend him.

I dont know pal it was 2 plts strait out of the back doors,i wondered if they were electric or summat :confused: how does he couple it up and drop it with it being a drag you have to get underneath :open_mouth:

Electric curtains :smiley: :smiley: now that should be implemented everywhere. Just imagine not having to get out of the cab at all :open_mouth: We could just pull up and hand the FLT driver the paperwork then just press the button on the dash, roller shutter rear doors go up and the curtains roll forward. A sensor in the middle of the truck bed would detect that the rear of the truck had been unloaded and automatically the curtains would roll to the rear. You would not even have to put your paper down/youtube whatever. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I want one now :smiling_imp:
