Had a good chuckle on saturday whilst dieseling up at the yard, when a veteran driver came to ask me if I knew anything about digitacos . . . turns out the firms one and only Polish driver had changed the language on his taco to Polish, and no one in the office or yard had a clue how to put it back to English
There were loads of units free, so the easiest option was to give the guy another set of keys
Yesterday afternoon, not so much a chuckle, but bizarre anyway, was the young fella with his backpack on cycling up the hard shoulder of the M5 where it meets the M6 . . . . I couldnât believe my eyes ⌠he wasnât wearing a helmet !!!
Anyone see him??
I saw him as he seemed to be peeling off onto the M6 S, just wondering how far he got, haha.

Are you serious ? nobody in the yard has the brains to figure out if your âveterenâ driver put his card in , the language would change back to English .
A driver for a company I used to work with headed off from the yard with, what he thought was, a fully loaded truck. He got an hour and a half up the road before realising he was driving an empty truck and the fully loaded truck was sitting in the yard plugged in. Goes to show the extent of his vehicle checks! Had to laugh when I heard about it, wasnât surprised though as I went to unload a trailer he collected a load with before and not a bar or strap to be seen on the load.

Are you sure enough of that to place a little wager on it?
Seen an agency bod today limbering up before he got into the cab at the start of his shift, limbering up before a game of football or going for a run fair enough but limbering up before driving definitely made me chuckle.

Positive , in my 61 plate Merc Mega space it does.

Been there âŚDone ThatâŚ
Few years back when on Agency for K&N on the M&S furniture ContractâŚwent in to start my shift the TM told me the unit was already hooked up and seal on the trailer âŚAnd handed me the KeysâŚ
So off I trott from Shotts down to Lymm âŚjust as i am in the middle of doing a trailer change with the guy that met me at Lymm âŚPhone goes ⌠TM starts to tell me that he thinks there is a mistake been made⌠he handed me the wrong keys ⌠he gave me a unit with a an empty trailer on itâŚ
He took full blame for it âŚnothing to do with me⌠we had a good laugh at his expenseâŚlol
One of me mates is a builder, I stopped by where he was working to have a bit of crack.
He had a new lad working with him, canny lad but not the sharpest.
The H+S lass out the office was walking around the site and stopped to talk to my mate.
He introduced her to the new lad:
âThis is Franny, the H+S â â â â â
'Franny â â ? â
'Yeah, like Fanny with an R ? â
'You mean like Crunt ? â
Poor lass went a bit red and didnât know where to look.
Was funny though.
Exiting a service station after a fuel delivery yesterday,a customer walks out of the shop texting head first into the side of tank and lands flat on his arse.I nearly phissed myself laughing.Had to get out and help the chap up.He said he never notice the big yellow tanker stopped in front of him.
I was overtaken by a car and caravan doing well over 60 yesterday. Oh how I laughed when, 20 minutes up the road, I crawled past him up the embankment facing the wrong way. No injuries, Iâm not nasty. Just served the numpty right for being a pratt.

Someone I knowâŚerm, yeah a mate of mine, ahem cough, did a similar thing.
Working with demount boxes and set off with the wrong one. They were all numbered and I, I mean my friend, cough, managed to confuse box 038 with box 179.
Easy mistake to make I thoughtâŚwhen I heard about it at a later date I mean. Got about 60 miles before I, or rather he realised.
