“Hi, oh you caught me! Just putting my feet up. Well just home actually. I’m away a lot you see – driving the lorry. Did you see it parked outside? Got an early start again tomorrow you see. Another 50 hour week this week what with one thing and another and then when I do get home there always seems to be so much to do. The wife has a list of jobs for me and then both the kids – well they’ve grown up and flown the nest now, but still expect me to drop everything and pop round to fix this, that or the other. Still another 5 years to go. I’m going to retire when I’m 65 – not working a day longer than I have to! At least when I’m away I don’t get nagged about my weight and my smoking. So, I’m a bit tubby– well “obese” is what they call it on that TV programme the wife watches, but what can you expect I don’t have time to do any of that fancy jogging stuff they’re always on about – and you don’t exactly get salads on the menu in most of the places I eat when I’m on the road (laughs) just imagine the other fella’s faces if I ordered a lettuce something or other! – and as for ciggies – well I have cut down. These days I don’t get through more than a pack (20) a day. Can’t see, not with the prices the way they are – bloomin’ government.
