Would multi drop round London be pushing it a bit ? with that 53 foot behind of course. Ole Boris’d have a fit.

It’d be fine. Given the length of truck and trailer, 95% of London’s junctions being as small as they are would prevent turning left, thus no dead oxygen thieves on two wheels to be found under that “Thundering juggernaut menace” or whatever it is that the media are calling trucks these days.

I have the misfortune of being in a truck stop tonight. I needed a shower and the parking is on account so I ended up here. Now I’m looking out the window and is has come flooding back to me why I don’t frequent these places. Wagon drivers. You have the stobart general haulage glory boys strutting around like green peacocks. Just seen a driver of an apparent prestige company wander back from the the main building and then walk to the back of his trailer for a ■■■■■. A thing waddled by 5 minutes ago. I think I might beat him to the main building, as I’ll be 53 stone lighter. Numerous examples of severely unhealthy looking specimens sucking on ■■■■ / ecigs like their life depends on it. …I’ve only been here 15 minutes and my skin is crawling.
Oh and I know the showers will be minging. Morning time please come quickly.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience happysack.
My evening was quite different.
After pulling in at shepshed,i enjoyed a tasty lamb dinner(75p)
I then adjourned to the bar where i watched football over a few pints with a mate.
There were some other blokes watching the football and a couple stood at the bar.
One bloke was sat quietly reading…deffo no peacocks,gold or heroes.
Just taken my shower and enjoying a coffee before once more heading into the metropolis.
Must crack on…i’ve got dunstable for 10
At 4 am the peacock parked next to me seemed oblivious to his alarm ■■■■. After 3 minutes he switched it off. At 4.05 he fired up his mighty volvo. After it ticked over for 5 minutes he switched it off. I just was just dozing off at 4.15 when it fired up again along with his radio turned upto max. I was a tad annoyed.
Dear driver may I suggest you invest in a hearing aid and a dose of consideration.
