I was planned from a different office this week and what a difference it made , I knew roughly from day one where I was going and what I was picking up , the only down side was the fact that I had been planned to go over the QE2 bridge , now this was at the maybe stage on my first day and a defo on the second , some of the planners at the other office foresee this and make sure you have either the toll money or a ticket to go over a bridge or what ever - not this time so I passed it back to the planner who if I must say got a little shirty - well I went over the bridge I could of gone over the Ferry and got some kewl photos but as it was Christmas week I did'nt fancy getting there to find it shut.

As no proof of going over the QE2 is given , I filmed the trip on my phone with the radio on so they can check the time on my tacho just in case there is a snag with getting my £2.90 back.On the same sort of subject ,I was made to go to Newport from Bristol not using the Severn Bridge - have fuel will drive tiger.........

So other than that top marks to the other planning office ..... tip top job cheers. I have a problem with the tacho infringements at the moment , they keep sending me down sheets to sign but don't enclose copies of the original chart so that I see for my self where I am going wrong , the chap in charge at my depot tries his best to explain but as far as I am concerned I havent done anything wrong and if I don't know where I am cocking up I can't realy help them? The new lorrys have electronic tachograph units and I am hoping this will help me out. I know for a fact that I am not breaking the law and also know for a fact that I have my breaks so you tell me ?

On Saturday we had to take Rebecca to the doctors in Blackpool as she has a huge mouth ulcer , so we stopped off at the mirror ball on the Prom to take some pictures and look at the rough sea as it was blowing a storm.
