Professional has one F and two S's.. Personally every who is a professional driver shouldn't need lessons. Not only that you can take your AIM cheaper and get discount on insurance, and its for life.

Now, back in the day -there was one simple test to demonstrate your courier skills. Can you steer with your knees, whilst balancing that ginster's pasty in your lap, crick your neck to hold the phone ( bigger back then so easy peasy) and write the address out, not forgetting to flick your ash out the window? Trickier than you might think, with printers pallet swaying in the back thru the roundabout.

Anyway, it's a redundent test, now that the van is a workplace where no smoking allowed, and power steering means even girls can do it.

But REALLY back in the day, 6 POB already on your Suzuki 750GSX in Regent Street, it was taking down job details from your handheld radio wrapped in a Tesco bag, writing on your left hand with a biro in your right (no point in trying paper as it's pissing down) with a roll-up on the go to keep you cheerful, while slowing down for the lights between rows of queueing cars and buses.

Thanks, Easy 13, call me POB.

Life was easier up here in the provinces, the biker's could sleep, and get weekends off !, to go find elusive VF400 spare's. Us vanny's still had dream's, when we stopped, and avoided allnighter at the blues's with a gallon redstripe and a little recreational. But life was good,, £2 per hour + .05 pence per mile, knocking 1500 a week average. 25 yrs later and ive got is memorys and tinnitus - grand.
