How do my posts in uk.local.cumbria end up in uk.local.east-anglia?

Also, I am being mistaken for a troll.  I don't know what is going on. 
Edith can u help clear this up?  you know me and you are the only one I 
really remember in here.

Tesla, before you send your post, check that you remove other newsgroups
from the reply/address at the top left, where it says Newsgroups:

When you press your reply button you'll see how many other unwanted
newsgroups are on your reply. Remove them before you send by clicking, draw
your mouse over them and delete.

Gees that was difficult. I'm sweating cobs here.

Edith.

Don't worry about it, Tesla. These trolls are always trying to gain a 
foothold. We ignore them. Many of us remember who you are - we know you're 
OK, so don't fret.

Tell us your news!

Hi Ally, I am now a professional truck driver.  I have been all over the 
country.   The mountains in Oregeon reminescent of the ones i seen in 
pictures of Cumbria (where my heart always is).  I can't believe a wackadoo 
like me is driving a huge truck hahah I'm crazy.  I get lost 
sometimes....sometimes really bad, wher eI would have to BACK UP half a mile 
(UPHILL) because of a dead end!  Runnin through low hanging branches the 
size of a tree (and consequently knocking them down...no one hurt, luckily!)

It's been a life changing experience!!!  But it hasn't settled in yet, the 
fact that i'm all over the place.......because i'm pretty much inside the 
truck most of the time, looking out at the world from the comfort of my 
truck (it has a bunk bed!).  One of these days i will park my truck 
somewhere and maybe climb a mountain!

Fantastic country to drive a truck in. So much to see; so many thousands of 
miles of roads. Are you allowed to pick up hitch-hikers? They've got quite 
strict in this country since my young days of thumbing around the country. 
The lorry drivers used to enjoy the company when they picked us up - a 
couple of naive young lassies. They were always gentlemen - never tried to 
take advantage - just chatted away over the roar of the engine. They'd 
sometimes buy us a cup of tea and a bacon roll when we stopped at a 
transport caff. I used to think it would be a wonderful life driving around 
the country, but nowadays I'm not so sure. I get quite knackered driving 
long distances. How do you keep yourself awake/alert on long journeys?

Because some pillock troll is mucking about with the "follow-up" settings
in his posts. He obviously thinks this is a highly intellectual from of
mischief.

I hope his Mum smacks him hard and sends him to bed without any supper.

oh, blimey!

Edith - confused and red in the face. Is this where I admit I've put my foot
in it and ask to be forgiven (again)

My goodness ally!  I wouldn't mind picking up a nice cheery lass like 
yourself haha!  I'm not allowed to pick up hitchhikers (drivers used to be 
able to), thats just beggin for a lawsuit!  If i want to bring family 
members I have to pay a monthly fee for insurance.  I do anywhere from 2500 
to 3000 miles a week.  3400 on a good week :)  All that driving makes the 
world seem so small!

The industry is heavily regulated and we are allowed to only drive a max of 
11 hours a day (with breaks or whatever in between if you want).  Sometimes 
I drive 11 hours str8, sometimes I take a nap or go eat or have some fun 
when I am off duty with nothing to do.  The best part is I get to sleep any 
time I want, so as long as I deliver and pick up loads on time.  If I start 
to get sleepy I will sleep!  I listen to music and sermons and other stuff 
on the radio to help pass the time.  Being alone by yourself is a real 
treat, no one breathing down on your back!  But you do tend to get lazy and 
messy....a lazy and messy 23 yr old haha.

I forgot to mention the LADIES.  beautiful girls everywhere I go.  can only 
look tho :-(  cowboy gotta hit the saddle once again.

Yeah, things have changed. When we were teenagers (which is a year or two 
before *you* were one, I suspect...) people didn't go around suing each 
other; most truck drivers were rough & ready but kindly souls; and young 
girls were far too naive to think of making false accusations towards 
anyone. My pal and I spent our summers hitching around Britain. We'd go off 
with 5 pounds each in our pockets and see how long it would last: a week, if 
we were lucky. We stayed in youth hostels (most of the time!), bought 
left-over food from street markets and never paid a penny for transport. We 
never knew where we'd end up the next night, but we never left the UK. We 
spent most of the time exploring Scotland and Wales, iirc.

We never told our parents, though! They thought we were travelling by bus 
and train. I remember my pal finally telling my dad the truth when we were 
in our late 20s, and even then I was so embarrassed that he'd found out: he 
was shocked, I think.

It's nice to see someone who's enjoying their job so much! How come you've 
got time to go online? Do you bring a laptop along with you, or are you 
having a few days at home?

ally

I'm at home for the moment, leaving again in a couple of hours.  But there 
are wireless internet connections at truckstops and i have a laptop with me. 
And there are alot of truckstops here =)
