HGV Class 1 16 years.

Gave up driving 9 years ago as I was on tankers for most of my short driving career and found that my cheap (free) petrol was no longer available. In fact all the fiddles dried up.

Now sit on my *** as a financial advisor and drive 03 WRX with PPP.

what's the money like... to all of you?

Thinking of taking it up.
Had enough of being a welder.

Royal Mail or Allways forward are my two top choices.
