Donkeys years ago,it was normal for the registration of the truck do have the same nationality for the driver,the Dutch had huge coffee percolaters on top of the dash,wore furry clogs with Friesian fur on them.
Germans with huge beer bellies and Father Christmas beards,no sense of humour and very serious.Those 5 foot long chains with wallet,to hold the running money in.
Now a Spanish fridge boss will hire South Americans,the Portuguese use Ukrainian drivers,the likes of Patinter from Mangualde.The Spanish drivers would shout loudly in the cafes,the noise was incredible,everyone firing on all four cylinders early in the morning while having cafe con leche,no smoking ban,a thick fog as you enter.
