Frilly curtains?.. Surely there must be a market for ‘gay driver on board’ stickers if everyone going to be mincing around like that. :open_mouth:

does it matter whether this driver is gay or not? nope :smiley: does the frilly curtains make a man gay? nope :smiley: bit sad that a gay person should have to be identified by ‘Gay driver on board’. :neutral_face:

BTW mate if you are sticking up for me cheers,…but I WAS joking, … straight as a die :sunglasses: just a strange sense of humour :smiley:

no worries mate :smiley:

we have one at our place with just about the whole contents of the cdc catalogue in or on his cab and its just a bog standard MAN. Infact someone had to use his truck the other day and swore blind the pages of the CDC catalogue where stuck together ■■■■■ stylee

I’ve got a set of curtains, leather mats and a truck table in my scania and that’s all I’ll ever get for it and I live in it for 25 days a month but when I’m home there could be 3 or 4 different lads driving it and they love to get fifth wheel grease and dirt inside the cab so I’m not spending another penny on it

No mention of Spanish bull fighter Matador spears in the windscreen.

I put some napkins in mine the other day for mopping up spills. Good ones too, Tesco finest (for fancy middle class wine and cheese parties). The boss only turned around and said he wasn’t paying for them . Phruuugh I tell you I had to be asked to be held back (asked a man across the road). I got all union. I ain’t paying to tart his vehicles up.

I had a six foot long bamboo stick , with a mug attached to the end, and a clothes peg.
This was used to pay tolls abroad when in a RHD truck.
The toll booth attendant would put the change in the mug and the receipt in the clothes peg.

Must remember this when I go to France next month.

I found that a cheap kids fishing net on a bamboo cane works a treat for tollbooths.
But the bigger problem you’ll have in France is that they’re moving towards unmanned toll peages, biased to card and libre-t TAG payments. Which I don’t have a problem with as I have my own libre-t TAG supplied by APRR. However if SWMBO is with you in the passenger seat it’ll be a breeze as she can hang out the window and make payment with the card

BeZo09:
what has everybody done to their lorry, lights? half drawn frilly curtains :smiley:?
and whats your opinion on the whole thing?

first mistake, unless your an owner driver, its your employers lorry,
my employer takes great delight when I say my truck this or my truck that.
'its not your truck its (add company name)
I work days ,and home at night.(for all you real truckers that do tramping,
ive been there and done it ) my companies truck is used on nights ,by co drivers or agency
who don’t give a toss,about its condition , or cleanliness so why should I ?. its a
tool to do the job,

Love the stick / mug thing!! :smiley:

I wouldn’t bother personally, can’t stand half the shi-te people have in their cabs, though I do think most of them look a bit good with their fancy lights on. :grimacing:

I saw a white DAF with a set of bull horns in the windscreen.

No tat for me. Unless you count reams of paperwork and an AA map as tat.

The only thing missing from that pic is a driver wearing a massive bluetooth earpiece and a high-vis vest over an AC/DC t-shirt.

Didn’t think you were agency Radar? Have your circumstances changed?

We have a bluetooth speaker thingy in the cab and I have a work uniform so no AC/DC tour shirts for me (might be too young for them). I was agency though, up until Jan of this year.
