When people ask what I do I say I’m self employed, I run my own business and have done for 16 years. This usually leads to signs of interest, good comments and even signs of being impressed. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Then they say what business are you in and I say road transport, I’m a truck driver and they usually then change there opinion to one of disinterest and look as if I am a something they have scraped off their shoe. :imp: :smiling_imp: :imp: :smiling_imp:

ive always said truck driver,

we have truckstops, but not lorry stops,
we have truck and driver magazine, but not lorry and driver magazine.

I just usually mumble ‘driver’ though, as people usually have no interest or any idea if I say Class 1 anyway.
A few years ago, an aged relative asked me what I did, so I told her, she looked at me sympathetically, patted me on the shouklder & said… ‘Never mind dear, its a start, & Im sure something elce will turn up for you’. No answaer to that is there?!? :confused:
