On a similar note, some caravanner pulled onto the lorry park at Birch devices yesterday, and happily let his young kids run around while he had a smoke. When I pointed out that this might not be the safest of playgrounds, he just said “they’ll be fine”. I wonder who he would have blamed if something terrible happened…
Those Birch devices can be really tricky sometimes

I’ve seen (not exclusively Polish drivers) but foreigners in general dart between lorries armed with a delivery note and map, trying to stop others for directions. I drove around one parked on a dodgy bend one day and lucky I wasn’t going more than 15 or so mph as out jumps Pavolski with his ticket, waving frantically. I couldn’t stop thankfully as there were cars approaching in both directions.
The last time I was parked at Stibbington I had to quickly get the curtains shut as another 'Ski was doing the rounds, he was also darting between two lorries trying to park up. A bit like when trick or treaters or charity collectors walk up the drive, lights off pretend I’m not in.Presume you have never done Euro work and been a “tadge lost” in an alien country.
May have been over the water…Isle of Wight…

Sorry. Spent to much time in Russian saunas.

Yep. Very nice. And Wales (Cardiff) today but you can’t have a good one all the time. Had a Polish agency mate too, good worker, broken English and a bit over keen I thought he was going to fall off the taillift. :lol:
Never, ever, ever walk directly in front of the bonnet if the engine is on, obviously.
I’ve nearly taken out 2 blokes in the past 15 odd years like that, they didn’t know about it but I was a second or two away from slaughtering them.
