I found a picture of Raymundo on his facebook page.
Just shy of 14 an hour for a 10 hour day. Work on average 8hrs each day but still get paid for the 10. Anything over 50hrs is overtime, and hours worked on Saturdays is time and half for the first 6 hrs then double after. 27 days holiday plus all bank holidays etc on top. 3 months full paid sick leave (I’m still on old contract, any new driver is statutory sick pay after the first week). I do on average 5 drops a day, all local to each other, or are area specific… I’m mainly kept in London.

When Raymundo was a driver I heard he had a night out in Southampton. One evening after seeing Dockyard Doris in the Juniper Berry he had his Master’s Ticket. Could just be a Driver’s tale tho?

And then discuss cavitation issues whilst you zip up your cagoule? 
But I’m only taking the ■■■■, as I’d also like to look them over…
Not that i know what 600 horse feels like on a prop!
You’re not supposed to park it like that…

If you.re ever in Troon you are more than welcome cos we spend most of our time alongside the quay waitin on some decent weather to sail the bloody thing … she was built for working out of Corfu in Greece where the weather is much more suited to her capabilities as a sea going vessel, not the wilds of west Scotland !!
