  1. Massive shortage of drivers, my brother is a hgv driver about 3 weeks ago he got a memo at work telling him he'd just had a 12% pay rise... he hadn't asked for a rise! They are desperate to keep hold of the drivers they've got.
  2. Tried it mate and got a flat refusal, I could see they were struggling so I offered to reverse it in for them. He snapped a NO at me so I did one, only to watch them unhitch it and push it in... Ya can't help some folk.
  3. Correct, where I live there are about 20 caravans stored here. The amount of people who can't reverse them back in there space when they return from holiday is amazing.
  4. Great innit. Trump signs a deal, Biden sticks with it and we all have to pull out.
  5. Working 'on the lump' meant getting paid as a subby but not paying any tax. Site lads shot themselves in the foot on that one... when CIS was introduced.
  6. Yeah, but it's been similar here in East Anglia today. We couldn't be much further apart East to West.
  7. What, a political group conning folk out of their money. Whatever next.
  8. Apart from that, Devon is a lovely place.
  9. That's probably because there wasn't sites full of pissed up Irish lads, there was lads from all over, but I don't remember many of them being pissed on site.
  10. S'why exhausts rot out before the rest of a vehicle.
  11. Sounds a bit like Max Quarterman.
  12. What did Mrs Miggins have to say about her pussy?
  13. Wait till they do find the Westeners. According to the news Kabul airport is overrun with people trying to get out. Shouldn't 'we' be sending planes in to get 'our' people out?
  14. Him and our own clown should hang their heads in shame.
  15. Kabul taken then, I thought they said it wouldn't happen.
  16. First post with company name and number all over it, we both should have given it a swerve?
  17. Before anyone starts, they were the Taliban back then, just under a different name. They fought the Russians, many of the Taliban leaders now were fighting then. 1981: Thatcher tells Afghan fundamentalists “The hearts of the free world are with you” – SKWAWKBOX SKWAWKBOX.ORG As UK and other western citizens flee Afghanistan and the UK government denies asylum on racist grounds to...
  18. Sunday Times political editor Shipman deletes tweet falsely linking Ken Loach to Holocaust denial – SKWAWKBOX SKWAWKBOX.ORG Shipman only recently paid compensation to Labour aide for tweet suggesting affair with Starmer Sunday Times political...
  19. 25 hour shift, part time then. It's no wonder you've never achieved anything.
  20. You are before my time, I didn't start until the mid '80's, it has gone wrong because most don't want to be told what to do, or graft for their money anymore.
  21. never done me any harm...
  22. Yes, but there was no malice in it. We had to take 'it' on sites, all part of learning our trade.
  23. Tree work sounds like a bundle of laughs.
  24. You've met Bolam and his crew...
  25. Right.
