That sounds like a fun course!  ;D  :y

I suppose, looked at differently, it could be described as "fun".. and if done as a "day out" it would be .... but at the time it was all a tad serious and hard work. The "pre-brief" included a video of a half full petrol tanker getting it wrong and taking out a building, rupturing the fuel tank and catching fire ... no mega explosions "james bond" style ... just a massive raging fire that was actually melting metal before your eyes .... sort of put it into a different perspective than "fun"
Pah! No sense of adventure, Mr Entwood :P

This was "possibly" going to be my future "career" on leaving the mob ... all the courses, PCV/HGV etc being paid for by HMG .. luckily I saw sense and went to work for the Courts instead ... warmer and safer ...  :) :) :)

The courts in Liverpool are not very safe......magistrates anyway. Victorian building full of brown and dark green wall tiles, little cubbies everywhere, very hard wooden benches. Plenty of shouty altercations.
So I've been told.

  My late father used to haul DFDS trailers and most fridge trailers would be full of hanging meat. On stopping at any junction or hold up the truck would rock backwards and forwards for a good three or four minutes as the half cow sides carryed on swinging ( but not the type of swinging Sir Tig knows about) ;D ;D

Wasn't this tanker was it Andy???

http://www.towerfm.co.uk/news/local/m60-reopens-after-tanker-spill/

The motorway has only been reopened in the last few hour or so ..... fortunately I managed to avoid it by going through Heywood & Middleton to get to Crumpsal hospital while collecting my grand daughter  :y :y :y

Coincidently I'd just been phoned by SWMBO to warn me about it ..... inbuilt hands free  ;) ;)

Load and vehicle characteristics are two very big features in the theoretical and practical hgv licensing process :y
