Oh I wasn’t suggesting any thing underhand Harry, just with you being a handsome young lorry driver (an image of Herbert Lom in Hell Drivers springs into my mind) the ladies would be all over you on your nightly ‘hotel’ stops! My old chap told me a few tales of his time on the road, I just hope mum didn’t know about some of them!

Harry was more the Stanley Baker type Pete. The strong rugged square jawed lorry driver.

Hiya,
Yep Pete I married all mine and nicked none the first two were single ladies
the third, my current missus was a divorcee so none were purloined from
other partners I’m a lover not a fighter and couldn’t do with the hassle of
splitting couples up, I always found there was enough to go round without
having to nick somebody else’s.
thanks harry, long retired.Well said Harry, But might I ask did any of them like single malts ■■, My good lady has a one now & again if she is feeling a bit Iffy mind you It certainly fires her back up, Regards Larry.
Hiya,
Larry, I keep a bottle of one of the blends for the missus she can’t drink it without adding
lemonade and I will not allow anything other than lips anywhere near single malt whisky.

me as "bloody gorgeous, a friend of mine who was in the company at the time did
offer to walk her to the nearest branch of Specsavers.

several wives indeed harry , have you no patience ? gom and myself are agreed that it takes many years to train a wife to a proper standard , whilst allowing them the illusion that they are training us . cheers , dave
To try to train more than one is just plain masochism, takes skill and patience, it’s an art.

Hiya,
Well “Riggers” it would be futile for me to visit my nearest family member with the
intention of “scrounging” a tipple there’s only trainee’s and girlie booze over there
namely wine and lager, well I ask you what’s that to offer to a proper drinker, they
do occasionally (birthdays and Chrimbo) buy me a bottle of single malt which to an
OAP (a poor one) is most welcome and appreciated but to visit with the intention
of getting p"“”"d is a definite no no wine is only suitable for sprinkling on chips and
lager is only suitable for people who decorate their headgear with corks on string.

Hiya,
Yep’, mate I know where to draw the line as well, I’m a bit past pushing my luck, I did
set her an elderly lap top up it was slower than slow she quickly lost all interest so I
bought her one of those Kindle thingy’s she loves it I sometimes am tempted to think
she’s been struck dumb it keeps her quiet for hours, she knows nowt about laptops
and I know nowt about Kindle, and never the twain shall meet, hopefully.

Hiya,
I’ve got my bit of the computer locked off with a password, the grandkids have their
own set-ups for their homework they can’t get into mine and I can’t get into theirs a
happy medium as far as I’m concerned, the only problem being if I don’t use the
thing regularly I forget my password and though I do have it written down I can’t
remember where I’ve stored the information, in real life I shouldn’t be allowed near
anything technological it makes my head hurt, I think I’d have made a good layabout.
thanks harry, long retired.
