Brilliant Pete... love your videos and chat...all very interesting and well made . Was interesting listening to you speak about your dad working in Bolton. I live near the old Ingersoll Rand factory in Hindley. I remember all the trucks going in there to load up, I worked for Hick Hargreaves and we did work for them. Keep up the great work and take care. 🙌😊
I used to go into Hick Hargreaves to load when I was a kid. I remember the nurse was always coming round to bollock the paint sprayer coz he wouldn’t wear his mask 😷
@AnonymousEuropeanDriver 😷It was some place Hicks..I ended up at wingates Industrial Estate before it closed and moved to brno 🇨🇿...and you were wondering how to pronounce the city in your previous video...brew as in tea and no as in wife...brew..no, 😆..shame as fantastic job for the folk of Bolton. All them skilled jobs gone...take care of yourself Pete,,,🚚
"I'm now worried that Russia are going to launch nuclear missiles against us, before I can get tipped today...so we need to crack on really...." had me in stitches :D brilliant
Talking of making a clown of yourself. A few years ago I went into a large supermarket at Suwalki just before the boarder with Lithuanian to buy a few cases of UHT skimmed milk, for some reason you can't get skimmed milk in Estonia. Found an assistant , "I'm looking for milk", shrugs her shoulders. time for sign language. I put two fingers above my ears and made a moooooing noise followed by the action of milking a cow, by this time I am being stared at by those near me. She smiled at me and indicated I should follow her. Loaded my trolley up and as I'm headed to the tills I see the assistant showing her mate how I asked for milk and having a good laugh, And the Polish word for milk, mleko. Great vlog Pete, as you can they bring back memories.
Really do not no how you have the patience and time to do these videos. I just about have time to Drive get on the Ferry or Train. Deliver. Reload and get back home. Have a rest and away again. My respect...
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Interesting & informative as usual. Poland is nothing like I imagined somehow - better roads & infrastructure. Thanks! Personally, I love these longer videos.
Yea, Poland has received the most investment money from the EU in the last few years to improve all their infrastructure. Similar in the former East Germany, where the German government diverted a lot of funds for the same purpose.
Another great video Pete to be honest if you made it 4 hour one we would probably watch it all your stories and information is so interesting your Greece one was a cracking video Ned Kelly our UA-cam legend did one it was mega you should have a watch last long one for D G looking forward to the next one 👍
Another top vid.👍am subbed to Matt Ireland as well,prefer these types,trundling along with no unnecessary talking,just relevant info and the odd memories!🤔👍👍🚛
Your three blokes in a black car down a side street in the middle of the night might have been there for an "informal transaction" and wondering if you were the person they were supposed to be transacting with. If you ever do get cornered with a fuel nozzle in your hand you can always give 'em a faceful of refined hydrocarbons. Seen footage of it someone do it against 2-3 guys trying to steal their car, and it worked. One channel with a similar vibe to yours - calm experienced international driver sharing practical advice - is Lorry Diaries. She mostly goes to Spain.
The original / best vlogger & no vanity at all ...another great video pete

I hadn’t actually thought of that before but now I think about it yeah I agree 👍
