Hung up my keys, again

robroy:
Other drivers hardly acknowledging you let alone help you.

I know you mean in general Rob but a couple of weeks ago I pulled into Ananndale water services. I always park in the coach park as its right next to the building and I cant be bothered with the hassle of getting a taxi to take you from the hgv park to the main building. Any wagons in here are usually parked facing out but this time there were two facing to the side (Ie away from the m74) so I needed to blindside it in to park. My reversing is bad enough the “right” way never mind blindside in the dark but I was already committed. There was also a mini bus and a car on there as well. I started reversing and thought ws going ok but then the Wm Armstrong driver appeared at the nearside and signalled me to stop. Good job he did or the mini bus was going to get flattened. He watched the back as I retried and got parked up.
I know the vast majority would probably have got their phones out to video me hitting the bus to upload to youtube but this guy got out to help a fellow driver. There are still some decent ones out there, albeit in short supply

Cant imagine you will drop huge money, if it pays the bills you will be a much happier person with a life and not feeling like a tinker any more

I can just about put up with it at the moment, but know how you feel, I only have 2 years to go till I’m 65 after being in the game since 1970, retiring to Canada where I’m gonna put my feet up and chop logs. Not in that order.
