Why mention his job at all if that's the case?

Despite being retired before he joined RLfans and me only mentioning being an ex HGV driver in the context of a few points being made in the odd thread on rlfans this poster insists on associating me with this occupation on at least 2 dozen times as if there is some sort of stigma attached to it, odd indeed.

Always wanted to be a truck driver as a kid, more the Aussie road trains TBH but a noble trade all the same. I've seen some of those blokes defy the laws of physics when manoeuvring their trucks to get into a tight spot, hats off.

I was a transport manager for 25 years delivering to the Dewhurst chain of butchers shops. My driver's had not only to negotiate town centres but also unload into the shops, they really earnt every penny they received and deserved more. In charge of a vehicle and load of up to 40 tonnes is a really responsible job with long and unsociable hours.
Chissit you have my respect and take no notice of people who just think you just sit there and drive.

truck driving is a very expensive trade to get into now vasty. Your looking at 3 to 4 grand to get through to your class 1 add onto this a medical every few years depending on age and continuous cpc training and digital tachograph cards. We constantly get abuse from the public and you can be pulled in for everything by the authorities/ police at anytime and the fines are brutal, which under the circumstances of us being in control of a killing machine maybe is correct. It's extremely hard to get anywhere to park at times to keep secure and our transport network for a small island needs a complete overall. If I had my time again I'd of done what my parents said and got my head down at school.

It’s not the trade but the man, I have nothing against them just this one HGV driver. I suppose all industries have their Chissitt’s so please don’t confuse my post relates to anything other than him.

I'm not sure why you think this is OK.
Leave out the personal comments.

Either comment on the rugby chat or don't. That's it. Pretty simple.

I think this one has run its course. Only going to decend into more personal comments.
I'm thinking Cas Forum will cover their squad players if you want to join in.
