For your info Trev the Fuller 610 has 5 higher gears in high range !! Lift the button Son and hold onto your hat!! I thought “H” had given you an “induction”,what was that you say ? The “induction” consisted of “mines a pint and a whiskey chaser” and get a soft drink yourself Son,you "Black country " youths are daft enough without drink !! Cheers Dennis.

Yeh , more Euro directives, with sole purpose just too ■■■■ us all off, more H&S regs carried out regardless of common sense by H&S Nazis, more parking facilities closed, already extortionate parking charges increased, more VOSA “clampdowns” on trivial infringements, more bloody stupid rules that treat us like kids at RDCs, more lame and ridiculous excuses for not paying us a decent wage, more knobheads to deal with on a daily basis, in fact different year same sh. Happy 2012

I feel just like LES.

I predict RobK will be back to resume normal operation lol

At least one major operator will go bump whether it starts with S W K or D remains to be seen.

Intra depot trunking will become more common than it already is with a corresponding reduction in tramping.

A major aggregates company will fail to pay it’s November bills causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth by it’s subbies.

Container companies will cut their rates.

Fuel costs will rise

Auto boxes will continue to become more common

More 7.5t and night time restrictions will appear

The gaffer, after claiming there’s no money in transport, will turn up in brand new top of the pile Range Rover towards the end of March.

Drivers will be asked to pull their belts in just to get the company through a difficult patch.

The transport office will come up with a dozen new forms for the drivers to fill in to make the office staff’s live easier.

This time next year we’ll all be saying it can’t get any worse knowing full well it can

You forgot to mention those soft gits in Europe will change the driving hours laws again and bring in more training which will cost us

Norbert Startinghandle will takeover at least 1 major company

Eddie (Channel 5) ltd will rule the world in partnership with Trashco supermarkets

I’m an optimistic pessimist; hope for the best but expect the worst
