lol.
I know what you mean. In my last job, I used to travel to Britton Ferry pretty much 5 days a week in a van restricted to 62 :-0 Used to take me an hour and a 1/4 from Haverfordwest. But then, I could be sent anywhere from Harford to Aberystwyth - Shrewsbury - 7 Bridge and anywhere in between. Over 48k in last 12 months. Good job I enjoy driving.

They were meant to restrict our vans to 68, but mine came and it isn't! Thank God! I'm in London at the moment and I can't leave until on Friday's until 12, I wouldn't get home if I was restricted!

My previous 2 vans were restricted to 70 and I thought that was bad enough. When I got the last one at 62mph I thought, 'how will I ever cope!!' It's one of those things, you get used to it. I found after I'd been on the road for 20-30 mins, I wouldn't really care anymore.
It was annoying if I was heading home from up the line somewhere, but I had to just think to myself, the longer it takes, the more they had to pay me in overtime!!
