oin several occasions I have spent a very uncomfortable hour on the chunnel train wondering if I have left the brake off!

I used to play that game on the ferry. Nearly at the top of the stairs from the car deck and I would turn to one of the other drivers I was with and say - “You did put your handbrake on didn’t you?” In nearly every case they had to go back down and check as I had put doubt in there mind, even to the point I could catch the same driver with it on several occasions. :smiley: :wink: Oh happy days. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or they come back and say “Phew I hadn’t, however the allport volvo behind stopped it, made a bit of a mess to the allport’s cab though!”

I would have double and tripled checked mine before playing the game so their attempt to play the same game would be futile. :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :wink:
