    Thank you so much Darren! I really appreciate the shoutout at the end, I’m so happy I’ve passed it! A new chapter awaits now! Daunting potentially leaving this current job after 15 years! Got to think what’s best for me though. The weather yesterday was absolutely horrendous wasn’t it, Thanks for taking us a long, really enjoyed it! Take care mate in this weather

    If the sunroof continues to be a problem, investigate the fuses, if it's on it's own fuse, take it out until it can be fixed

      Thanks bud, for some reason it didn’t do it today, possibly the heavy rain may have damaged something

    You’re so right Darren about taking extra care in the heavy rain. Better late in this life than early in the next as they say. Another great video, mate cheers!

    Regarding the cold weather bit...I'm a milkman working nights 4 days a week and also a mobile mechanic during the downtime. I know what you mean regarding the cold hands... plenty of times my hands have slipped off a spanner or something and my knuckles have smashed a piece off metal in freezing weather...it's tough out there..I was working the milkman shift the whole night in Manchester and was drenched

    Appalling weather fully appreciate driving and safety have priority re sudden breaks in conversation, for me happy to ride shotgun. Great video, thanks for external trailer move shots. Love shots of 'little man' and the pig racing, great fun.

    Back again🤣. The M60 between J.17 (Prestwich) and Eccles Interchange (just before Trafford Centre) is always, always bad. I live in Denton, and never, ever, when coming back from Preston on M61, take the route back towards Manchester. Towards Trafford Centre always queueing, and towards Bury, not so bad, but it can be. I now come back via M65 towards Blackburn, and go via the M66 to M60 and on towards Oldham side of M60. That side is always free of traffic. For your sunroof, try the good old tool, duck tape🤣🤣. Have seen a number of taxis up to Bradford, is there a convention on or something?

    • @Life_of_Darren
      @Life_of_Darren  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Duct tape wouldn’t have been a bad idea at the time 😂 luckily it’s not done it since

    Just starting to watch your video Darren. However, just a small error about my yesterday's comment. Apparently, the truck that went over Thelwall Viaduct was only 60ft, not 200ft as I said. However, I'm totally sure that the news of that day did state the measurement in metres, so I may have got it wrong, or more than likely Google did🤣🤣

    • @Life_of_Darren
      @Life_of_Darren  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Easily done matey, in the middle of the bridge it’s possibly nearer the 200ft mark

    Im really intrigued to know why when there’s traffic on the motorway why most lorry drivers move into the middle lane?

    • @Life_of_Darren
      @Life_of_Darren  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Few reasons - if approaching a junction then it helps the flow of traffic get on is the main one, if not over taking etc then should stay on the left

    Raising your child the right way 😀 He will grow up to be a good man like you my friend , Lets just hope these stupid politicians can stop the war drums as its not looking good in the Middle East and Ukraine , People need to be left to live in peace , War is not normal and should never become normalised in the world. Anyway lets hope the weather improves too as the rain has been non stop the last few days .
