In the slow moving traffic, I had this van pull up along side me on the M1 the other day, beep his horn, whipped his beanie (to display a rather nice shiny head) off waving it at me and pointing his finger at his face, I thought in a "want some of me mate!" fashion!

It was only when I wound down the window that he told me it was Mr G, phew cos I didn't fancy fisty cuffs with him!

I have actually met Mr G before but it was once, for 2 minutes about 10 months ago

Do 'fisty cuffs' still happen today. I thought it was all stabbing and shootings. The abuse we get as couriers is scary, but if we knew it was just a thump ya was gonna get it would'nt be so bad. I dont carry the baseball bat anymore its too heavy to swing.

Well i saw this van ahead of me marked mk bikes. Odd i thought cos its a van. I pulled along side the driver and beeped my horn for recognition.

How strange i thought, the bloke driving looked fresh faced and youthful unlike [name] whom i had met looking stressed and straggly 10 months before.

I guessed it couldn't have been Mr [name] as he seemed to look confused as i waved at him.

He drove off at speed

Then it dawned on me... I sent him a bill last week... lol
