  I worked for IT Fleet and my allocator in the head office was the very best. Makes such a difference to your day when you have a good allocator. Do I miss it ..... not a bit now. Work is a 4 letter word in retirement! 😂

  Interesting day out. The only thing I know about Byron is that he was described as “ mad bad and dangerous to know “ on account of his wild lifestyle. £6 pounds seems good value for the gardens if there are a few of you.

  Interesting as always ... nice little gems within. It has been more than 50 years since I was last there. My Dad's family were from Mansfield and Nottingham. The dog's name is pronounced "Bowsun". Before the hierarchy on ships became more formalised, the boatswain was the captain's right-hand man. The captain gave the orders, the boatswain saw to it that the orders were carried out. See the first episode of "Onedin Line" available on KZread. Before formally qualifying as a first officer, Baines was James Onedin's boatswain. George saw his dog as his right-hand man. Near this Spot are deposited the Remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferosity, and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.

  That’s a long day, these are the ones I avoid and prefer the smaller journeys. Nothing more funny to see an old or fat person run for a train and double funny if they are fat and old. I have had my fair share of running to catch the bus or train as one minute late can cause hours of delays for the rest of the day

  @willswheels28316 күн бұрын

  Seems quite a responsible job, your not just a driver your also a purchaser as well, driving and riding on trains etc is only part of the job. So I’m assuming your company buy cars through you and then supply these to an end sales garage or private/company end user. So obviously your company have to have a lot of faith in your judgement of the vehicle being purchased, a fair bit of responsibility. I use to do vehicle collection and delivery work, the vehicles were almost always brand new or nearly new and purchased by the sales garage or end user beforehand so there were no decisions made by me wether to purchase or not, I had to check it, talc photos, deliver on a truck to the customers address. I liked the job just not the hours 5 days a week, you don’t have a life.

  I hope you don't think I'm being super critical here but I notice you left the trade plates on the L200. The journey back would be A30, Exeter, A35 from there to Poole and then across to Portsmouth and then Worthing. 300 miles @4.5 hours. That would save you hours on the A303 and the M25 . An L200 barbarian is the single worst 4x4 to drive , thd seats are awful and the transmission is agricultural at best

  Im enjoying your videos. Travelling to Cornwall you need to leave at 5.30am or at latest 6am...The traffic going down tk the west country is always bad and you never leave things to chance.. Having collected Volvo xc90's from the top of Bodmin Moor there is no alternative transport in those areas. Always sensible to leave yourself extra time to cope with Cornwall roads.

  @richardpiper482817 күн бұрын

  I really enjoy your videos as your experiences so closely mirror mine. Fortunately I work solely for a specialist used car dealer so have none of the aggro that the full time Trade Plate Drivers have because I can largely plan my journeys within the day. I don’t generally have both a delivery and collection or vice versa. That said, even the best prepared plans sometimes go to pot so my shoe leather occasionally gets a pounding. Off to Torbay from London tomorrow to collect a car so shouldn’t be too stressful. I have deliberately chosen to leave early to give me time to wander around the town and perhaps have a paddle as the weather (at last) looks promising. If I run a little late returning my boss is happy to let me drive straight home and swap for my own car either the next day or when I am next in. 🤞the A303 is not too busy.

  It sounds like our jobs are very similar indeed, much of what you've said is the same for me and usually I only do one collection/delivery per day.

  As an FYI- A lot of the new digital speed cameras are also ANPR, so if you go past them in a van at 70 on a dual carriageway they won't flash, but you will still get a speeding ticket. Because it knows what you're driving. I know someone who got six points like this in two weeks. He had no idea he'd even been clocked.

  I thought of something interesting (to me) that you could do in these videos. I know you already use maps to show where you're going, but when you're at a point of interest, like that bridge at the start, or anything else interesting you find, why not show a map of the exact location (so others can look for it when in the area). (haven't watched all your vids, so maybe you already do this)
