hiya,
Dave I just asked my good lady if she thought I was witty, she said no more like stupid.
but maybe I’m bright enough to wish one and all a very Happy Christmas, and a very prosperous New Year.
thanks harry long retired.

Now then Dave if Chris takes a handful of logsheets with him and he’s still in Edinburgh on the 28th of Dec he could hitch a ride down the A1 and call in on the “Geordie Truckers” having their “do” in the Newcastle Labour Club It’s only a cockstride from St James’s Park and he could administer some of his ill-gotten gains to a load of hard up retired and current HGV drivers, commences opening time finishes last man standing, he would be most welcome and even I a Lancastrian would be happy to meet him even though he’s formerly “from’t wrong side ot Pennines”.

hiya,
Dave the majority of the party will always refer to themselves as “lorry drivers” but I suppose the young fella’s like to Americanise themselves dreaming of the day when they are driving things like our pal in South Wales drives for fun, but Dave I’ve never been and never will be a truck driver, don’t they drive things that load/unload pallets and don’t trucks roll about our rail infrastructure, now Dave have redeemed myself ■■.

Couldn’t resist that one Harry when I read your post .Like yourself I was a lorry driver,no such thing as Trucker a few years ago.As you say its an American term.
Cheers Dave.
The Americans refer to a “truck” which is no bigger than a pick up which can be driven on a car licence
