Scousers are pretty good at setting trucks alight!Ron day!
ask stobart how many scanias he torched!
The guys’ a legend!
Not when he set fire to some motors in our yard. Wasn’t pleasant parking up and not knowing why scanias were combusting. And i’m sure the lads that lost all their personal belongings didn’t think he was a legend either. Bell end more like.
I know first hand of one instance of a cab blaze, was at hp’s place at winnersh triangle, Reading.
I think the security guard woke the driver up and got him out.
I did wake after a knap to find a red plastic puddle that used to be a kettle:?
I now have a combined smoke and gas alarm as fumes from night heater can leave you sleeping longer than intended.

How been times has this happened, im quite a heavy sleeper so would like to think i’d wake up early enough to get out? This is something i think about from time to time, probably doesnt happen but i’m quite a paranoid person, i also believe the cab phone is bugged, so they can hear what your saying if the phone is near you.
I was turned out to a truck on fire in the carpark of Aldi at Bulwell in Nottingham must be ten years ago iirc it was a flatbed trailer with bags of chemicals involved and the driver (still asleep) had to be rescued
The lady of the house has a strange mother, she had her TV removed because she believes THEY can listen in and watch you.
Whoever THEY are must have a lot of staff to listen in to everyone in the world 
We eventually persuaded her to have another TV, it is now sat in a box in my front room because it is LED and will give her cancer.
I am waiting for the ideal opportunity to say how good it would look on my fireplace
She has WIFI at home but refuses to let anyone go on the computer, yet she will happily sit here for hours while there are 3 mobile phones ringing and 4 computers.
I might lend her my copy of 1984
I find having a summer open barbie in the cab leaves a lingering smell of well cooked, easily dowsed with a full hose in the morning.
The best way round this is dont lets barbie in …
can you see me yet ■■? how many fingers am i holding up ■■

let’s say a driver notices a fire very close to his cab, or sees someone trying to set the lorry on fire.
how many drivers would let the lorry burn rather than interrupt a 9 hour rest period?sounds daft. but from some comments i’ve seen on this site over the years, i wouldn’t rule it out.
it may sound daft Phil, but if YOU worked for stobart YOU’D let it burn!

Solstar and intelligence are not words that are ever heard together .

Grimsby 2003 was one occasionThe appalling fire that killed truck driver Derek Bailey has prompted his family to call for all sleeper cabs to be fitted with smoke detectors. He had parked up for the night in the delivery yard on June 25, 2003 year when an arsonist set fire to waste plastic and pallets near his front tyre. The man responsible for his manslaughter, Darren Wringe of Grimsby, England, had never previously met Derek Bailey. Bailey’s family said they wanted to thank not just police and Grimsby residents but also drivers who had passed on messages of support, especially South West Truckers.
i remember that he was a driver for branham potteries in barnstaple was a erf ec11 unit he was in if i remember rightly. i was self employed back then and got called in to cover while they sorted everything out, sad day

Must be shiny side facing in to the cab though as it won’t work otherwise.
+1
And in addition to this I fashioned a rather nifty hat from tin foil to combat the spy-phone, the only downside is that you must remember not to stick your head in the microwave when it all gets too much!!
all the hidden bugs and camras are for a new channel 5 series called real truckers… its to be showed after eddie stobarts trucks n trailors 4 as a real insight to truckers lolol 
I know my phone was bugged once, and they were watching me from space, but i wasn’t bothered.
My armadillo hat would protect me.
nurse, nurse, get off me, they’re here again. get that finger out of there, it isn’t yours.
ohhhhhh that’s nice.
