While sat in a mates car I heard a crunch to my left, where my car was parked and noticed a white van scraping up the side of my car

As he's a mate and it was an accident I've told him to replace it and he said he would, told him if he didn't I'd go through his insurance for the bumper too :cry:

850000 is 531000miles.....at 56 mph its a right slog, we employ an ex lorry driver on a tech van job going round brick works, collecting samples for testing at the headquarters. it pays remarkably well

Christ that's good, 56? I would hate that, i'm stuck to 75 max and that kills me. Bricks? What do you do?

we were in groundworks, but that went thru a rocky time, my stepdad has run a brick haulage firm for 40 years, & my brother bought it from him...i am now in the office, running it, we run 5 wagons & the van, also we have subbies.. brick deliveries are picking up big time, the large sites are building houses again..

Saying that actually, theres a new build site not far from me that halted for months during the worst of this so called recession, last few months they bricky gangs aint half been busy & been flinging the houses up!

Ah i see, i thought things were picking up as ive noticed a lot of private/self builds going up recently too!

Aye, I bloody hope so, we're busy dont get me wrong, but nothing like this time last year when we were insanely busy & ended up taking on loads of blokes just to clear a never ending backlog of Housing Association renovations!

If we're going to talk so much about the fella dribing 850,000km in his van, then at least get him to join up and tell us stories of his days on the road.

No-one seemed to care about wmwmnnwnmwnmwnmw's light :(
