    It was at times a very stressful job but on the other hand I worked with a great team of people which helped.

    Actualy, we didnae bother with the slang but the rigs made six hour journeys pass in an hour. I got to know a couple of people really well.We tended to talk about inconsequential things you wouldn't normally delve in conversation face to face. They were happy times and over ten years ago. I've had 'better' jobs, but seldom as satisfying. Trundling down the M5 talking to a friend as the sun rises, the horses working hard underneath and the heavy load rolling ever onward seemed fine at the time and from a decades distance it looks even better.
    Remember ma Dad passing by Ayr blethering to one o' his cronies on the C.B.This was in the days that it was illegal to have one in yer motor.Suddenly the Busby(the big white police jeep that was used to arrest folk wi' C.B's) came right behind ma Dads car.I've never seen anything like it.The auld man removing the C.B with one hand while still driving.

    Man,they talk these days about folk driving while on the mobile or putting on make-up.In the 80's it was all the drivers trying to get rid o' the C.B's so they widnae get arrested.
    Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho

    best job was boxing coach to under 12 year olds
    worst job was a sewage worker
    The man who views the world at fifty,
    the same as he did at twenty,
    has wasted thirty years of his life.

    Best: doing page 3 for Sun, Star and Mirror. Hard work but great money, great laughs, great friendships.

    Worst: same. Standing around for hours in cold wearing fake fur coat and not much else in presence of spotty inadequates. Have you any idea how much body makeup we used to cover up blemishes? Addiction to expensive shoes is incurable.
