Week beginning 7 th dec

Last post , I retire today , I’ve been offered 3 days etc but I’ve a major operation next week which according to the professor chap I had to see Is going to be along road to recovery .

Wife said retire as you’ll have them on your back about when are you returning to work etc etc ( she maybe right , or maybe wrong) , I loose a bit of money in sick pay but the wife said you don’t need any distractions , you just need to just concentrate on getting yourself as well as you can , she’s right , it’s time , not just this operation , health is not good whatever

So look after yourself , hope everything works out for you all , and all the best for the future

Used to love that place-20 mins in and out with doubled stacked 45 gallon drums of chinese honey-at least until one time he opened the doors and the honey was running out as one of the drums had split! Think I was there overnight as they had to get a specialist cleaning firm in sort it out!

Good luck Ady-as they say on a saturday night :unamused_face:-KEEP POSTING :rofl:

Don’t mind the place and the guys are sound , it’s the drive from the A34

If more drivers keep retiring, we’re going to need a bigger sofa

My turn for a break on the A34. Soton to Birmingham, trailer swap, do Birmingham depot route around Wolverhampton, go back swap trailers back so now it’s loaded, and I will get back in time to avoid a night out :+1:.

Ran around like hell to get done. Birmingham depot don’t know how to strap a load and they’re our head office depot.

Got this for helping them out, would much prefer cash.

Hasn’t stopped carryfast

Finished with 20 min to spare

More toilets as well as most have dodgy plumbing as well

Good old southampton docks again

If I’m taking a few ‘extra’ pallets on the decker as I do occasionally then only beer or cash is accepted as reward. And its agreed beforehand.
