Until you get a knock on the door from a copper with a pair of plastic 38" knockers and a beard and who’s had all the required surgery telling you that ‘he’ identifies as a …woman and if you disagree with him you’re nicked.
While some say it’s difficult to tell the difference from a distance with those sheep covered in wool most of the year and they won’t tell you what they identify as.
Ok…which thread is that on?
Who cares how sheep or people want to identify. If it’s not harming anyone else, why get upset about it? Simple narrow mindedness.

It was just a larf, directed at Bewick’s reply to Ramone and Buzzer, concerning Ro’s personal choice of ID.
Absolutely not meant to be taken literally or seriously.
Before I leave TN completely and no longer even ‘read only’, let me make it crystal clear that doing so has absolutely zero to do with gender. Indeed, I have spent the last five and a half years on here entirely trouble-free on the gender front until Buzzer’s rather artless comments yesterday.
I left for one reason only: a certain armchair fantasist continues to ‘poison all the wells’ – ie threads – with his disinformation and crass comments. When you’ve stripped tilts in the desert and stripped them in torrential rain, the last thing you want to do on a Saturday afternoon is read crap from someone who quite clearly doesn’t even know what a tilt is, let alone stripped one. I used to just ignore him but his presence is now so in yer face that I can’t. Enjoy the quagmire.

Wonderful photos, old school road haulage at it’s finest, the BRS MM photo is fantastic.
Hope he’s got those sheets well fastened down. 
I bet he was cold it looks like snow on the ground.
I identify as a Scania 111 and can make a noise like a DS11 engine 
I implore you, stay. Your knowledge and experience are valued, resulting in posts of great interest.
The more mature don’t give a rat’s how you dress, but do appreciate your valued input.
Put him on your ignore list, but please don’t leave.
We all know he’s a would be, if he could be. All experienced folk here recognise his lack of genuine experience and plagiarism of other’s savoir-faire.

Now to be fair he could keep a post going for a long time with his knowledge about engines, tilts, Russia, China,
It’s a shame a man of his self inexperience sorry experience couldn’t fix a pipe on a jaguar

I certainly would not let another member make me leave this forum.
In my case there is one on here who I aint too fond of, I deplore his woke and liberal type politics (the type of which I blame for the state of my country) that and his ‘‘all clever gob with no real back up’’ type attitude..
Would I feel the need to jack the forum BECAUSE of him?
Not a chance in hell.
As SDU says you have types of driving and trucking experiences that not many have on here, as for your gender or sexuality, …I cgaf, live and let live, so just carry on as normal mate
You are right, of course. Following a number of very touching DMs encouraging me to stay; and remembering Buzzer’s “TN needs you” post a few weeks back (he probably needs to add “despite your dress!”), I am reviewing my position.
I’m not interested in getting into the gender debate on a transport forum, so I’m more than capable of ignoring the odd childish remark. If I stay, it will be to continue to explore our road transport culture and history and to contribute what I can to the debates.
A C-series with an NTE 370 in it. Nice!

Now where that drivers gone wrong is that he didn’t need a tanker too many pipes to mess around with.He should have stripped down a tilt poured the fuel on the back and used the tilt sheet to keep it dry.Don’t forget ,the sheet isn’t for securing the load only keeping the rain off.Then a few ratchet straps to hold it all together unless you’ve brought your gloves then you could use ropes.Any driver worth his salt would use gloves when roping.It’s great here in the asylum licking the flies off the windows

Wouldn’t have happened if he had used a sheet as well as ropes…
