Contraflow:
I always wear a three-piece suit for work. Sometimes, if I’m going somewhere frequented by agency types, I’ll lose the jacket and just go with the waistcoat and rolled up shirt sleeves for a more casual look.

I love these comparisons about ‘back in the day’, whilst not that far back in the day I used to rope and sheet/strip tilts down etc. yes I was sweaty by the end but a quick rinse in the loo
I get free uniform now but years ago on agency I brought navy blue combats which converted to shorts on those hotter days and several navy polo shirts so always looked reasonably smart and for winter brought a nice big hi-vis jacket, I’m not one to polish shoes that often but always keep them clean.

the trampers smell like tramps as they live in a box 15 hours a day trying to cram in a days work with trying to live some sort of life

You speak for yourself mate.
+1 managed to tramp/drive all around Europe without smelling like a tramp or looking unclean and that was living in a sodding Iveco turbostar none of your high roof style modern trucks.
its called forward planning and thinking oh I am passing such and such I will nip in for a break/shower.
it amazes me what the modern driver can find to complain about in this day and age
you guys will be complaining next about the guys who have to have a dump in there cabs and use newspaper to wrap it up and dump it out of there windows.

Sorry about this robroy but I need to agree with you.
Desypete I’m guessing is a fat lazy prick who doesn’t know how to wash. I do 15 hours days, sleep in my “tin box” but still manage to shower most days, and if not it’s a full basin wash using hot water from the kettle.
I’m also guessing he drives up and down the motorway doing nothing more taxing than opening a couple of buckles one a day.
Sorry if I offend you Mr Pete but that’s my opinion.
