/ With reference to the recent comments made by Norman Curl, director of a drivers agency, about HGV drivers not wanting to work, I would like to comment.
As a HGV driver who passed my Class I driving test over three years ago, I have still been unable to find permanent work.
I have done several temporary driving jobs during that time and found the pay and conditions on most of them to be unacceptable to all but the minutest minority of people who would put up with anything.
If what Norman Curl says is true, that during 1986 out of hundreds of people he recruited for work only four remained for 105 days, then this must be a clear indication that the work he is offering is pretty bad.
Even in times of high unemployment people do not like to be exploited.
