blue estate:
Or had a game of frisbee at the end of the day
That’s what I did, or put a tare in the disk during the day.
Lost count how many times I put the card in the wrong way round 
Nothing flies as far, as a paper tacho plane. 
Well I for one was happy when these new fangled digi cards came out as I was already up to the year 2017.

Back in the day, we used to regularly put the wrong date on the card.
Or screw them round to pretend they got chewed up. Got stopped once while doing this, I had to big up the ‘Oh no, I can’t believe it’s done that’ acting as I opened the tachograph with the VOSA man in the passenger seat
martinviking:
& we never used to write our Dads or Brothers Name on it, to get home. [emoji57]
Oh yeah I’d forgotton about that trick. Trying to make the handwriting look different! Because they were known to check ferry records I used to give a fake name to get company on check In! Also back then if you drew middle curtain as you arrived in Holyhead you could pretend you were double manning so get a cabin to yourself. And two dinners!

We may have been ‘forgetful’ at times but we always found time to have a bloody good laugh along the way. Maybe it’s rose tinted spectacles but is it fun today? Depends on the job I suppose.
Well I suppose we Old Gits are always going to say that things were better in the old days of continental work, but I honestly think it was. It was a far more sociable job when three or four of you used to run together for two or three days, stopping for coffee or meals together along the way, chatting on the CB when you were moving… I wouldn’t dream of getting into the job if I was the age now that I was then, taking 26 pallets of toilet paper to Tesco at Thurrock for an 04:00 booking just doesn’t float my boat at all.
