    Every lorry I’ve driven, right across Europe, had a sleeper bunk. To be honest, I’ve never seen a lorry without a sleeper bunk, even shunters. Unless they’re a four wheeler ridged, running only local, hub to door trips.

    Driving for Norbert Dentressangle, early Monday morning leaving central France, ferry from Ouisterham to Portsmouth, driving up through UK, delivering. Wednesday, driving back down, making collections, ferry, central France. Parked-up in lay-bys or lorry stops (Yes, we called them truck-stops too, never lorry stops). Sleeping on that very welcome bunk, behind my driver’s seat…

    I’ve a friend in Normandy, whose estate is completely self-sufficient. A natural pond filtration system separating sewage from potable-water, dry-toilets, goats, chickens, a couple of cows and sheep. Electricity from wind-turbines and solar-panels. No internet. Minimal micro-waves. I love visiting his family. You can almost feel the stress leaking out of you…

    Thank you Tammy, but I need to be honest, I was only winding up those that take these cartoons far too seriously. I realised that Harry was probably referring to his home town of Gloucester MA, and not Gloucester famous for its delicious, crumbly cheese…
