Lord Arran, the egregious hum ourist who writes a column for the London Evening News, says he has always wanted to be a lorry driver, "now more than ever since I learn I can get a cup of tea for 61/2p instead of 8p from those well known philanthropists Messrs Forte.
"Does my bird get one too? If so we shall have a smashing time in one layby after another.
"It should be really cosy in our WI old love cabin. And what with powerassisted steering it shouldn't be too arduous. With overtime I could even earn £100 a week.
"Watch out for my 'heavy.' It will have coronets on the doors and knives on the wheels like Boadicea's chariot. On the bonnet will fly the hammer and sickle.
"Scatter at my approach like the parasites you are, you middle-class Rolls-Royce drivers. Up the Reds!"
His Lordship is trying hard to be funny at the expense of lorry drivers. Someone should take him at his word and give him a ten-hour stint on a C and D or trunk service.
