Yep, it can kill a relationship being away from home to long.
A rough day.

Seen it happen far to many times in my job. I've never wanted to tramp, don't mind the odd night out but these guys that do the continental stuff are away 4-6 weeks at a time. I talk to a lot of Dutch who pull out of Farm Frites who make the fries for McDonalds in The Netherlands and they spend loads of time away shunting between there and the UK having to take weekend rest in laybys. That's no life.
Knew the owner of Falcongate transport Great Yarmouth, think he sold out to Grampian Continental.
He said even in the middle of nowhere, these guys would not stop if they passed each other, would just sound the horn.

Well done Dave, Tony and Phil!
I believe that in front of a situation any action, even the smallest encouragement helps until the ambulance arrives.
Not being a very religious person, but still believe that a good action returns to you or to your family. So Dave, maybe the new job was a reward for your action after... Congrats for the job; I solidarise with you, while had have the same adventure (with the job)!

Yeah the comardery has long gone mate. No one gives a toss anymore.
Good on you mate. Your not trying to do anyone a favour your just doing what is right.
Great news about the job Dave and well done for being there when you were needed. It's amazing what we do when faced with an accident. I hope that both me and Dave would do the same.
I'm pleased to let people know that the chap in the Fiesta has made a full recovery and is back at home.
