hi dave.i must admit to having got drunk with a few drunk brit drivers myself in the past,not that us irish are very good drinkers or anything like that.
i cant do it anymore,im 55 now.a bottle of wine with the dinner and maybe a beer or two after that and thats it.
anyway.
the trl arrives in liverpool tonite[fri].
going to vicenza through germany and austria.
i wont bother going till sat morn and make for bastang[spelling] in belguim for sunday,have another 24 hrs off there so i can do the 6 days.
tip tues,dont know about backloads yet.
it seems very easy going this way as opposed to the tunnel.
theres go box on the windscreen for austria.i dont have a clue about it,iv only been in austria 3 or 4 times and that was 20 years ago.
does the go box cover the brenner as well?

WTF You are doing it for a poor rate because they give you running money? That’s just wrong, they must be laughing themselves silly.
THE TROUBLE IS I HAVENT BEEN IN THR TRADE LONG AND IAM STILL GREEN. I HAVE NO CONTACTS. AND STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN. THE THING IS IVE ONLY WORKED FOR LKW WALTER. BRADCLYDE. AND I BEEN SH-T ON BY BOTH COMPANYS.
hi mate. sorry to to long to reply 
to be honest running for bruce almighty (archbold) you will not make anything. why not run swiss ■■. i ran the simplon for more years than i care to remember. its the cheapest and quickest way into turin/milan. pm me for a costings breakdown of every possible route into italy. you will be amazed at the difference. rgds. brian
The train is by far the best and cheapest way, to cross into
ITALY ,over the alps, the swiss , blanc,frejus will work
out too expensive ,plus you will lose time which you
can not afford to do
TRY WORKING out the costs by useing first
SWITZERLAND; NEXT TRY GERMANY VIA BRENNER;
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THROUGH France to ITALY
via the two tunnels BLANC & FREJUS;
LOOK through these links for helpAUSTRIA
ENGLISH IS AVALIABLE TRY ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE;

rSlicker. Hi Brian, if you’re the Brian I think you might be, how are you? long time since I’ve seen you. I was very sorry to hear about Stan, I know it was a while ago now, but I never see anybody nowdays. When you are next talking to Kev please also give him my regards too. If you’re not the Brian that I was thinking of, then all the best anyway.
