think you meant
“Doesn’t anyone doff his cap to the gaffer and be grateful he gets a shilling a week?”
duurrrrr erm no stick with driving matey. dont go into mind reading you’ve failed miserably at your first attempt 
I couldn’t agree more.
well now, you do suprise me
Rob K:
I couldn’t agree more. Far too many mugs in this industry that are willing to wipe their gaffer’s arse and more.
It’s not often I find myself agreeing with Rob wholeheartedly ( 
) but this is one of 'em
Sorry to get back on topic here,but,if you are parked in a lay-by directly next to the highway (no kerb or path between you and the road) then you must display lights front & rear.
Even private cars have to be lit unless they are in a 30mph area.
Some years ago the North Yorkshire Police were knocking driver’s up in the middle of the night and telling them ‘Either put your lights on,or accept a ticket’.
At the time,my brother was driving for Tolemans,and they had two lamps front & rear on a seperate switch fitted exactly for this purpose.
You don’t have to have all the lights on,just two white at the front and two red at the rear.
Mind you,it’s like everything else these day’s,the old bill couldn’t give a toss whether you are lit at night or whether you talk on the phone while driving.

We’ve aleady established that. The question you need to ask now is…when the light is on, is anyone in?

I think if it was me, I’d arrange for someone to turn up with a hand pump and a dozen jerry cans. Empty the tank then phone the boss in the morning to tell him you’ve had your diesel stolen and can he bring some out?Oh, we know you would!
Well I did two weeks for one [zb] who had me do a delivery on a Saturday morning then the week after decide to inform me that my wage was a salary and I wasn’t getting paid extra.
Anyhows…parks up at Leyland one night and along comes a ■■■■■ with the old “Run out of diesel mate, can you sell me some?”. Hmmm…vengeance is MINE.“No problem, gimme £20 and take all you want but leave me enough to get to the petrol station in the morning.”
£20 exchanged hands, out came the drums and the hand pump and five minutes later 200 litres was on it’s way in someone elses vehicle.
It just went up £15, you said a fiver last time!!
