    If it was easy for you it would be extremely easy for me. It is not something I ever wished for though but each to his own. Enjoy.

    In the great scheme of things we all do our bit. We are all important cogs in the system. We are all interdependent with one another.

    Best for you not to try anything that demanding at your age and with your level of superiority.
    People who think they are superior is often a recipe for disaster when learning to drive vehicles bigger than a car.

    Getting to the LGV (HGV) C+E test pass would take years to accomplish anyway and it is very expensive too.
    Just stay on the computer games where you cannot crash into anything real.
    Personal computer driving would truly be extremely easy for you do, I grant you.

    Until you have a LGV drivers licence, best not to blow your own trumpet as you frequently do.
    A LGV drivers licence will always be beyond you now at your age anyway.

    Just talk about things you know, not about things you wished you knew. Enjoy. :)

    I don’t want to be an HGV driver. Gettit. Never have done. Never needed to be and never will be. Too boring and the food’s sh1te.

    I hope that makes it clear. No need to discuss it further. You may like it fine. It’s a job, fine. But I never aspired to that kind of work. Get back in yer cab and get delivering for Christmas.

    “Truckers to get pay rises”. Says the Torygraph. Leading to higher costs for the consumer no doubt.

    Being quoted that LGV drivers are being offered £78k per week which equates to on a maximum hours per week roughly £20 per hour for a highly skilled job.

    Finally people are realising that a part of the UK work force has been under-valued for too long.
    There are £1,000 signing on bonuses everywhere.

    My hot vegan food (prepared by my wife) is top notch and very healthy.
    Even you will appreciate the benefits of good food from your many posts espousing such-like. ;)
    It will sustain me when I am relaxing and pondering why some people love to project stereotypes ad infinitum.
    There are lots of drivers who are members here and perhaps we are not all greasy spoon aficionados :lol:

    You do seem to be obsessed with drivers of large vehicles.
    Did a big hairy trucker eating a burger with egg running down his beard sound his horn at you when you were not paying attention on the road ?
    Just remember...everything that you buy for your house and your stomach is delivered by the people who do boring jobs eating terrible food.
    :lol::lol::lol:
