    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Do you want your groceries delivered on time next week?

    Our truck driver & I have the perfect working arrangement.
    He complains about me, my suppliers & how much I have him carry.

    I complain about him, dust in his truck & that he hasn't bought everything I ordered.

    So, we get on very well unless either of us are running late.
    BTW He is a Western Star bloke. I tell him it's not a proper truck because there is no dog on the bonnet.

    To be fair, he's there for business not pleasure... Surely his groceries would spoil before he returns home.

    Why would you want to look up a dog's dot all day?

    Hello Ean & All,

    The other good thing is that your daughter will have some very friendly Land Rover types to make contact with during her stay in Tamworth. I caught up with a great bunch of people when I was in town visiting my family members who are based there last year.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel
