2.5 miles away,according to Google maps, I moved into this village when I was 6 months old. We left when I was 9 in 1976 to Chester le street,about 3ish miles away, I moved back 7/8 years ago. Furthest I've been away was about 10 miles from here for 4/5 year's.

I've had my hgv class 2 about 16 years now. I started driving about 25ish years ago on the 7.5 tonners now I'm on an eight wheel tipper. I used to love it,now I'd pack in tomorrow if I could, it's not a healthy lifestyle long hours sitting gives me lots of back knee etc problems. One thing with an hgv licence you'll always find work. I'd go for you're class 1 you've got more choice than just class 2. Rigid trucks you're just a bigger van driver lots of handball or pallet network jobs for class 2 driving. We've got grabs at work some of the places they get trucks into is crazy,back streets in

Out of Town is being repeated on Talking Pictures (ch 82 Freeview) from next Monday 6.30pm then every Monday afterwards. I've seen a few of you mention this show before so I thought I'd put this up for those who'd like to see it again.

Finally found time to watch this thoroughly enjoyed it thanks for the heads up

He was arrested for attacking his wife but he said later he regretted his actions and visited prison's talking about domestic abuse issues. R.I.P David a large part of my childhood

There's no cat C anymore it'll be either cat N or Cat S, N is basically the same as cat C and S means structural damage. If it's a cat S you have to get a new MOT there no Vic check anymore, I'd price the parts up Audi stuff is expensive and check behind the bumper for more damage. Cat cars are usually worth abou 1/3 less than non cat cars and some insurance companies can be funny insuring them

She was 26 and had already had a couple of kids when she appeared in that. RIP Raquel what a shame

It was John Howard if I can find it again I'll try and put a link to the article, there's a picture iirc

I remember going there as a kid in the early 70's, if you went by on the bus you used to be able to see the Giraffes from the the top deck. There was something in the local paper last year (Evening Chronicle iirc) for the 50th anniversary and I'm sure it said most of the animals were bought from (Jimmy?) Chipperfields Circus. It was closed in 1980 due to rising costs and is slowly being covered in houses.

That's a shame Rip Anna,she worked in a kitchen to pay for her acting course until she realised she'd get more money as a stripper

Sorry I didn't make that very clear, I planned to do the same as you once I was debt free I was going to cut my work hours and take things easier. As for the health I've left it too late because I don't think I will be able to keep working much longer,. I'm off sick today (and tomorrow) and I'm not one for missing days off work but the back, knees and other problems are just getting worse. Up until I turned 50 the I'd had 10 days off sick, that included 3 days when I chopped my finger end off and 3 when I went through the windscreen off a truck,I was asleep in the passenger seat when my brothe

You've pretty much described me. I stayed too long in a poorly paid job before getting back into driving now I'm debt free,house is rented and the cars a £500 banger. I planned to get part time work once the debt was paid but I'm nearly 55 and the healths not the best and I think I've left it too late. I love books but apart from that I've got no real interest in anything, back in the day I was never in the house, most weekends I'd be at a car show or race meeting (banger racing mostly) or in the garage messing about with an old Ford now it's on the couch reading.
