Is the straw for a local firm??

the nodding donkey:
Well, wether it really happened or not, the message is true. Never trust a farmer when he says “it’s ok, there’s loads of room”; " we get big wagons in here all the time"; “you can turn around in the field”…Best one I had off a farmer (after I’d rang on way and was assured that I would have no problems getting in and out) was…
‘‘Well the bin man never has a problem’’
Says it all don’t it.
I had a bad feeling turning into the track, the farmer soon disappeared after unloading his straw. He wasn’t bothered and only made matters worse by dragging me further into the ditch. First time this has happened to me as most farmers are decent, this one wanted his delivery and simply lied in order to get me in. No way on earth would I have attempted to turn around on his firm field,
Could be the last straw.
Sir +:
Could be the last straw.
Yeh, I reckon he should bale out of the job before it happens again.
You never mentioned the farmers wife and if you have a brain the next time get him to bring his tractor to you at the start of the track it’s not rocket science to look and know i aint driving up there regardless what people tell you
Have a look at the farms in new Zealand when you get there and pray tell us which passport are you travelling on
I remember a time when you could make up better story’s than this rubbish and you also put a bit of houmous sentences in there
I think this is a load of BALEocks
I’m trying to come up with something funny, but I’m just clutching at straws.
Hay!!! This thread is so STRawful

I am not going to New Zealand ■■ This is not a made up story and as you rightly say, if it was, it would have had a few humorous sentences thrown in. I am a better poster now I have seen the errors of my ways.
Shall we do a Straw poll as to wether UKtramp has changed?

Not all farmers are like this.
I used to go to a farm every day with a bulker, in fact he had three deliveries from us every weekday like clockwork, he’d always be floating about to help us out if needs be, during a seriously bad winter in the 80’s he cleared several miles of lanes of snow with the digger so we could get in and out and when it was really bad for several weeks, after our delivery either he or his son would follow us right out to the main road in the Landrover some 5 miles, yes even the 1am delivery.
He used to bung us a few quid at Christmas too, and you know what his deliveries never failed to arrive.
I’ve done lots of farm work on bulkers in my early years, the vast majority of them right as rain.

If you say so but why are people so down on you as soon as you post remember i think you were exposed not to long ago and a lot of your own wording comes across in posts made by other people here with different users names its really not that hard to spot
Anyways to me its all good fun no harm to anybody and a bit of humour to top it off
How you get off this track is anybody guess but it should not stop you been who you are
This never happened. Mod’s-isn’t it time you had another word with this clown again

Oh well if you say so then it must be right. You shouldn’t be on this site yourself. It’s for lorry drivers not van drivers. Mods please remove this clown as I don’t agree with him. GROW UP.

Well first time ever, I got stuck delivering straw. I rang the farmer to see if there was room to turn round as the track to where I was delivering was really long and narrow. I asked if I would be better reversing to the barn. He said I could do either as I can use the field to turn around on as it is really firm. He knows more than me about where I was going so I decided to drive in forwards as it looked a tricky reverse. I got to the barn and it was tight to say the least, I was horrified to see there was no turning circle at all at the bottom. Had to reverse out and my trailer wheels went into a deep trench and sank up to my axles in soft mud. Recovery vehicle had to be called to lift and winch me out, the farmer tried with his tractor but made it worse as he dragged my other wheels into the ditch. All respect to the recovery driver who got me out, poor sod was covered in mud by the time he got me out. Took him 3 hours to get me free. I was a bit embarrassed but the recovery guy said where I was stuck was a known problem and worse part was the farmer knew it too!!!
zb the mud , it does my bloody head in , building sites are as bad , keep the inside of the Lorry like new and they park you in the biggest ■■■■■■■■ they can , mud on boots after I’d polished them that night , bottoms of trousers , much prefer a concreted yard ,

Nah I will leave that and the description back at you. Summed yourself up perfectly. If I were to lie I would make up weird and wonderful stories like you tell, certainly not about getting stuck.
