I am going back to work next week so will not be on GR very often, I had a hear attack 2 years ago and because I am a HGV driver they took my license off me, so I decided to retire early, having been at a loose end with not much to do I have been trying to get myself fit enough to re-apply for my license, and I did the fitness test last month and passed, my license came in the post this morning so I rang my old firm and they said I could start back on Monday, So if you see a 44 ton lorry loaded with potatoes in your area give me a wave as I will be all over the UK and away from home 5 days a week, there is no better feeling than being on the open road travelling and meeting lots of different people, I will be on GR at the weekends, and if I get home through the week, just to keep up to date with what is happening Roy

Good for you Roy, you don't live in Audenshaw do you???Married to Diane? I have a neighbour called Roy, who had a heart attack and drives big lorries away for days on end! Bizzare.Same thing happend to him licence and all that. Er chuck us a bag of King Edwards out if you get the chance. catherine xx

I'm very happy for you. Take care. C x

Thanks for the replies, Catherine, I am in Doncaster but the company is in Cheshire so not who you thought, My first job is to collect from Pembroke (South Wales) and to deliver To Dundee (Scotland) these are New potatoes, King Edwards will not be out untill the back end of this month or early next month so sorry but pembroke spuds will have to do untill then. Nanna, we do Morrisons plus other companies in Essex so will look out for you. Roy

That's brilliant Roy. Cup of coffee waiting for you here in Somerset :-))

I'm glad you are well again. Will do, if you see a *fat woman* from the passenger seat of a silver car waving like a lunatic.... * I is that LUNATIC* LOL Deanna X

Thats lovely Roy and I think you are marvellous to have the determination to get fit enough to return to the job you love......

Well Roy isn't that great, you couldn't get a tipper truck to just drop off some of those potatoes at my house up here in Dundee Scotland could you!! So glad you are fit and well again though. Betty

Roy so pleased for you , you must feel like you have won your life back with that news;; Congratulation to you , I will wave to Mr Spuddy;;;hehe Babs, from the North East Middlesbrough ;;

well done roy, you should feel proud of yourself.

I am in my 50's but feel like a 5 year old that has been let loose in a sweet shop with a £10 note Betty, I love your part of the UK it is a beautiful place, I am delivering to a company at Inchture just south of Dundee, but collecting a back load from Kilmany just over the Tay road bridge, don't need a tipper lorry i always have some bags so can drop you a bag off. I may have to get a laptop with a mobile connection so i can keep in touch whilst i am on my travels Babs, My family are from the North East Middlesbrough area on my mums side and i will be coming your way to do some more research later this year. Bryan, I will give you a wave if I go over the heads of the valleys when I go to Pembroke on Monday, we used to do Safeways at Neath. Roy
