Not to mention ‘of’ instead of ‘have’.
Sorry to hear that you have my disease, Neil! Annoys the hell out of me, but we seem to be fighting a losing battle with that one! Especially with that ‘star’ it would seem.
Anyway, sorry to hear of your misfortune Luke. Glad your ‘back on the horse’ fella, looking forward to the next installments!

What luke should be worried about was that there was more concern for bertie than him

I don’t normally bother about that sort of thing in posts but sometimes you just of to, oops, sorry have to.
Glad your ok switchlogic, hope your up and about soon mate, i bet our fellow member with his sarcastic comment will be extra carful next time he,s on that stretch of road ,
Luke, I’m 16 and a keen watcher of your videos, I have subscribed to you on YouTube so that I am told as soon as you upload a new one. You can always tell how much you enjoy your job, as if its your hobby and the care you take with your truck is always evident. I wonder how many drivers these days call their white fleet truck beautiful? When I saw the photos on your website, it was quite a shock how only earlier this week I was watching part 3 of your Holland trip and then seeing your truck on its side. The first thought that came into my head was “I bet he is gutted”. Why did it have to happen to you, probably the most dedicated truck driver in the whole of Europe.
What I would like to know, is did the driver that you moved over for carry on down the road or stop to help?
The reason Virginia are so good with Luke is that anyone can see from his video’s and ramblings that he is a great driver, cares about his job and the truck. I’d make video’s if I thought I could be any more entertaining than I actually am but alas, I ain’t ! Just one of them things when this happens, nobody is hurt and that’s it.
The good thing that has come out of this (and you have to see a positive side to it) is that Luke is more high profile than most drivers, due to his online diaries etc. Drivers know he is a great lad and good worker and good driver and it just goes to show that anything can happen at anytime in this job, if it can happen to Luke then it can happen to anyone of us, just do the best you can and take care !!!
I bet Luke feels like pulling his tripe out for Virginia, when I Jacknifed in 1999 I got the same treatment from my firm, a few jokes and a lot of TLC, plus not a word of blame attatched to me by the company, just continue with the good job you do and don’t let it get to you attitude was all i got from the company !!! It made me want to do everything that 10% more to repay them.
I bet that split second thinking that goes through your mind when it’s happening involved a couple of milliseconds of thought as to what people on the forums will think as well as the “I hope this doesn’t hurt” and the “I hope it rights itself” thought patterns that I got when I Jacked !!
Keep the vids coming Luke and if you were filming it then just edit that bit out, nobody likes to see a frightened lego head !
Totally with all of that Kerbdog!!
My 7 year old daughter loves watching some of your videos Luke! She was worried when she saw the pictures of Holly in the ditch!
The reaction of Virginia Transport has also been very refreshing.
To muck in and get on with the recovery without any fuss shows that your loyalty to them has been well placed.
just seen your new ride, i really liked my magnum except that it had the turn around seat and table which was not the best for double manning as the fold up bottom bunk was not at all comfortable, but a good truck all the same.
