Stobart Drivers

Ah yes Ireland, a well known exporter of steel in sheet or any other form. I can just see the driver turning up at a steelworks with a fridge full of hanging and asking them to load him. Think about that, a fridge. Even better, turning up at a meat plant and asking them to be careful not to trip over the steel whilst they’re loading the carcasses.

If it’s been on a Police show, there must be an archive of it somewhere, so let’s see it. I imagine it’s on the same one as when (insert Irish haulier here) flashes past the Police car in the 143 and the cop just shrugs and says “there goes Paddy, late for the boat”

Still, at least he wouldn’t have been heading for the Herald.

Must have been an illusion I was watching then on the BBC :unamused:

Remember the Irish kid of about 18 who came across the reservation on M6 south hit the Royal mail artic and the guy with his Mum in the back of his black cab, check the history books as to what he was hauling and the speed he was running at, if it wasn’t true you would think it was a myth, but he had just over taken me and I saw it…

There are no Stobart drivers. Just drivers, some of which drive for Stobart’s.

Saaamon:
The stobart drivers I’ve met have been really decent people, asked one for directions once and he drew me a map!

They couldn’t find their own ■■■■ hole with a map, so i hope you didn’t get lost :exclamation:

As they are kings of the road and all drivers aspire to work for Stobbies the answer is obvious.
He had the right line and you as a second class citizen should have slowed up anyway to allow him in first.

They have to work fast so they can get back to base before the depot or division is sold off.

I would’ve thought they’d be hanging the job out as long as possible on their wage. :laughing:

I’ve had a look around the internet, nothing to be found. Do you have a link or an archive I could search?

Ireland may not be a big producer of raw steel but there are plenty of plants turning out finished products have loaded railway tracks from Portloaise for the UK, Sperrin Galvanisers sending three or four loads a week at least across the water too. Just because you haven’t done it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen!!!

I have done it and whilst Portlaoise isn’t far from Rathdowney for example, it’s still not gonna happen!

I think you need to lay of the drink.

What are you on about anyway about payback. He was moaning about ONE driver

Aidy just for you

Quote … “Stobbart drivers” refers to the lot of them in general so it’s not just one, the OP is a downright insult to all of them.

But in general he is moaning about that driver. It’s like if we see a white man chucking his food about in a street people would go all white people chuck food. It’s speech

I’m interested as to why you chose a white man as your example. Any particular reason?

Too scared to say black man? :laughing:

What do you think. If I said black man it would have gotten edited and the thread locked

That doesn’t make sense :laughing:
So the post would be titled … ‘WHITE MEN’ then go on about a guy throwing stuff away ?
The very title sugests he means all white men just as ‘Stobbart Drivers’ sugests he mean all Stobbart drivers :laughing:
As I pointed out earlier, if he had been complaining about a driver titled it “Man driving Stobbart truck” it would have been different. Lumping all drivers at one firm in the same bracket seems to me to smell a bit of jealousy just as the complaints about ‘Tesco drivers’ does, although I can’t think why anyone would be jealous of anyone driving for Stobbart unless it’s because they have nice trucks ? We used to get that on Swifts (UK) because we had new trucks every 3 years and drivers got 10% above the national average pay … a very long tame ago, but others were very jealous.

Pat, it’s Stobart… not Stobbart. HTH
