Another Day Done

 

Great course again today. Really settling into them now and finding my feet. Thanks so much if you’ve booked, got some regular repeat bookings already. As I set out to do I was determined for it not to turn into a dull one sided affair with just me droning on, all the days I’ve done so far could be mistaken for friends having a chat if you randomly dropped in. Everyone on each course has a life time of experience that we can all take advice and ideas from and we do exactly that. Each time so far I leave with an A4 sheet covered in writing, stuff to look into, stuff to research, stuff from others I can use in future courses, it’s brilliant and thank you to those who’ve joined me so far.

Next one is a daytime one next Saturday, 4/3/23 8am. Company Image & Security. I’ve an enormous amount of experience when it comes to company image as you know so I’m quite excited about this one, one for you if you’ve ever wanted to dive into the social media world in a work capacity. I’d love it if you could join me 👍🏻

Have a great weekend all.

#MyTopThree: Countries. 1. IRELAND

So if you have thought about what #MyTopThree Countries much I dare say you’ll find number one inevitable. So yes, Ireland! I feel I should remind you this is a top 3 based on overall experience, not just driving. Though it has a terrible reputation for bad roads the road network is unrecognisable compared to just 20/25 years ago and bad roads are becoming ever fewer and further between. My first taste of Ireland was when Dad started working for Nolans in the late 90’s who were at the time one of ‘South Wales’ biggest employers of drivers. Back then the roads were horrendous and you had to make sure everything was strapped down, in the cab as well as the trailer! Nolan’s gets a lot of bad said about it but like most things a lot is not really true. Yes they were plain speakers, yes you ran day and night but no one ever went there for an easy time. Fact is they were/are well run and like most of Ireland’s transport sector a family firm where you’re more like to see the boss in overalls ...

EXTREME WEATHER; ADVICE FOR CAR DRIVERS

Hello peeps. As many of you will know some really bad weather is about to hit us and last over the festive period. Reading about it on BBC news the line 'give high sided vehicles plenty of room' gave me an idea for a blog post. So here it is! Many people who have very little motorway experience take to the road at this time of year. Im not claiming to be the best driver in the world, I just know that many car drivers follow my blog and lets face it the car test is inadequate at best. So all I want to do is give you some advice I learned from driving everything from cars to minibuses to double deck coaches and vans to artics in 22 different countries over the past 18 years! IN HIGH WINDS- 1. DO NOT DITHER! On motorways often if a problem occurs most car drivers first reaction is to brake. In many cases this can be the worst option! If you see a high sided struggling with wind as you overtake ACCELERATE! The best place to be is in front of it, not behind, and most certainly not b...
