100% with his statement here………👍🇫🇷

After a 3.30am start just 30kms or so from Valence and the weekend. An obligatory 45m break in this nice setting next to the Rhône river, before running the risk and hoping not to get pulled before I get back to the depot…….Dorothy was right “there’s no place like home”…………

Crépy en Valois (60), here to load for the South and home. But timings are against me to beat the truck driving ban tomorrow, so in the GIF from Cliffhanger the woman represents half my weekend shipping away from my grasp…….🇫🇷😢

Saillans (26), literally just had a glass of Clairette in a bar opposite. Not too bad as an apéro. 🇫🇷

It’s important to blend in, not stand out like a tourist etc etc……..😉

Sometimes I wish life came with a pause button! Back to work tomorrow 😢!

Son in law has brought the essentials……..You can tell it’s France 🇫🇷 can’t you! 😉🤣

Time to put my armbands and snorkel on……….

Falling Down (10/10) Movie CLIP - Fore! (1993) HD youtu.be/x1-axqBZdNk?si… via @YouTube No offence to Mr Drumpf there in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, but this clip already sums up my thoughts on both him and the sport! 🏌️ ⛳️🤣

There now follows a “Pension party” broadcast from the Retirement party! I’ll be posting a similar post when I get my Army pension in 17 months time! If I make it that far! But Steve speaks for me, and millions of others I’m sure! 👍🇬🇧

The August 15th Bank Holiday week-end falls on a Friday! 👍❤️ So for us that means a weekend just over the border in Italia 🇮🇹! France 🇫🇷 has treated both of us well, neighbours here aside, but be it Italy or the UK we both like to return to our roots. 👍

I’m looking forward to watching this one! Back in the day I used to bet a bit on boxing 🥊, (can’t now as my wife won’t let me 🤣!) But I won a bit betting on him back in those days! Anyway, Buona Notte!

Somewhere on the A6 “Autoroute du Soleil ☀️” between Auxerre and Avallon 🇫🇷. Going to leave here just after 3am and give it my best shot to get home and avoid the ban. 😉 Let’s hope the Good Witch is waving her wand over me in the early hours………🤞

Anybody I know on here ever studied some form of Physcology 🧑‍⚕️ 👩‍⚕️? Only this song is on repeat in my head at every delivery/collection point I walk into! 😢🤣 I’m even humming it ffs, does this signify anything and should I be worried? Concerned of Crépy en Valois.

I sometimes treat a load like I’m an Airline pilot as was the case here. “We’re making our final approach to FM Mormant where the weather is slightly overcast but 19 degs. Thankyou for choosing to travel with us, we wish you a pleasant onward journey” etc etc. 👨‍✈️

That’s from an FB truck group in the UK 🇬🇧, a diesel ⛽️ fairy 🧚 caught redhanded on the A45 near Thrapston Northants 🇬🇧. A smack in the mouth was administered, his pipes and pump taken off him and the Police 👮‍♀️ called. Makes me proud to British! Watch for the reg though all! 👍
