“Only havin a larf mate” was the reply.
"Your"e the one with the tarts name on your motor you ■■■,do one!! . . .he did!!
May i just add that i have no personal grudge against drivers of est, before you ask, he caught me on a bad day, well it was about 2am
No offence to anyone on here but sometimes I can’t help but notice some of these glory boys thinking they’re all it. Think because they have a shiny motor then that makes them above you. We’re all drivers, can’t we all show each other the respect we deserve

What, you are recalling something from FIVE years ago, why■■?
hello girls/ladies was a common greeting from drivers to drivers at one time
ie a group of drivers stood around the table chewing the fat and having a coffee, another driver approaching said group would quite often greet the group with an hello girls.

Can confirm that. Don’t know what Suedehead would do in Yorkshire where ‘ayup love’ is quite a common greeting.
Steve-o:
No offence, mate. Just hate feeling like I’m less of a driver when you see how some of them act.
Despite my status and my trucks shiny appearence i have and always will consider myself just a lorrydriver.

edit:-
forget it.
Don’t hold back on my account.
Soz, I was going to say, (well I did say) you are not ‘just’ a Driver, you are a professional driver.
The reason I deleted it was, you already know that you are a professional driver.

I beleive in parts of Derbyshire it is quite common to greet a male of the species with the word “duck” as in “you alright duck?”.
I guess that may have upset you too!! Maybe you need to lighten up a little, life is very short you know.
