Tanker Driving In Dubai

Sorry if this has been posted before :open_mouth:

Poop trucks of Dubai

Amazingly, Dubai doesn’t have a sewage infrastructure to support its skyscrapers, including the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Drivers said they’d been queuing for three days! Unsurprising then, that many dump their loads into storm drains that lead directly to the open sea. Tourists are warned of the risk of contracting serious illnesses like typhoid and hepatitis if swimming on Dubai beaches.

The language in the video is a bit ripe, just like the contents of the tankers after 3 days :open_mouth: :unamused:

Unreal, they have all this money and they can’t even plumb a proper sewage system in. :unamused:

Dubai is just a joke

all i can say is, sheeeeeeeeeeeet. that’s a lot of poop

I’ve been there health & safety doesn’t exist especially on the building sites, it was a real eye opener :open_mouth:

It’s a nice joke then. :open_mouth: A very high standard of living the ex pats have over there, beats the uk any day.

Seen a job advertised not so long back for an LGV instructor, to teach the indians how to drive wagons properly. 50k per annum (tax free)with subsidised apartment and healthcare, probably a maid as well. :smiley: The good lifes not that far out of reach.

Nothing would make me want to live in that place

Indians are 10 a penny over there, so H&S doesn’t phase them

if i’m not mistaken isn’t every natural born citizen expected to go into some cushy 4 hour a day job for the government over there and everything else is done by immigrant labour :unamused:
but back to the subject,i was having a usual boring ■■■ day waiting for someone to breakdown or get taken out by an eastern european artic on the M25, when the guy turned up to empty septic tank.
we got chatting as usual and i told him how bored i was doing nothing 24/7 and he turned round and said to me in his polish accent, “hey you get paid to watch t.v. all day and i get paid to ■■■■ schmit”,
kinda funny at the time but made me think! :blush:

It’s not all bad, Luke. There’s no way I would have gone to Dubai had that child of mine decided to get a job out there! I go out there every year for holibags ( pay back time :wink: ) I thought it was a dirty country and wasn’t keen on Arabs either,but to be fair, I was quite surprised how clean the place was. I haven’t seen anything like the ‘poop’ trucks tho’ :open_mouth:

£50k wouldn’t be enough danger money having seen the way Indians drive.
