when working for the furniture makers Alston of Ipswich I had a drawbar outfit and when on the northern Ireland run one of the ferries was not wide enough to be able to swing around on the car deck so we had to reverse down the ramp!! one time it took me 35min to park the damn thing.. The Fillipino mate kept telling me to go straight back. I was getting angry with myself which made it worse so I told him if he could do better then do it 'cos he cant do my job but I could do his! In the bar after dinner he asked me what I meant so I told him if I wasn't driving trucks I was driving ships. We got on well after that!
