Strange seeing the place you grew up in and even you driving past my old house and workplace! Pimmies pies are ok, not as good as they used to be though. If you ever get the chance, try Cottams on Lock street, just as good!
@@Lsparkes3021 I know not having any of this St Helens rubbish. Either galloways, rolling pin bakery, pepper lane or if you wanna be posh and pay the dollar baldys 😂
That what I thought tbh, this company seems real good atm and all the other workers (drivers and warehouse) say good things about it so it’s got to be worth sticking here for now
I know a lad who works for maritime he's not been there that long but he loves it think he's tranping out all week but in curtainside work and the odd container now and then, he said they've got brilliant driver facilities at the depots around the country too. When he started he got a 69 plate scania now he's in a 23 plate volvo so it all sounds cushty bud.
Great vids as always Darren, I try and avoid boxes if I can very boring work a lot of waiting around on a bay and for me it's too easy I like to be doing straps and stuff 😂🤷♂️
Well I couldn't believe it, I thought I'd invented making steak pie or slice sandwiches! Ah the MAN depot, never been inside but spent a whole afternoon on Richmond road behind it waiting to tip at the new Argos place! Well at least the rush hour had gone by the time I tipped! (About 6pm!) Your figures are looking good I see, only 45 more before you can start monetising them. I thought it might make a nice little retirement project with extra pocket money, but after checking the figures I says to the wife it might not be the retirement fund I'd hoped for,"Why?" she says. Well I says, I've just checked and I've earnt 0.6 of a pence! Have a good weekend Darren.
Oh it’s a popular sandwich filler in Wigan 🤣 luckily the traffic going to and from the MAN garage was good although I was expecting it to be pretty bad. I can’t believe I’m only 45 away now too! Exciting times ahead and I know the feeling about trying to retire on TH-cam until the hard truth hits that you need over a million subscribers to retire 🙈
@@Life_of_Darren A million subs to retire! Damn I'm only about a million short then. 🤣🤣🤣 If you are wondering what I'm doing up at this time, it's because as an old driver in his sixties, I fell asleep after my tea after another long shift on Friday. 👍😉
Good to hear your new company supports you and your channel! Everything happens for a reason.. the last companies lost , is another companies gain! ⭐️
That’s true Chops, one loss is another’s gain indeed 😀

I’ll keep an eye out for Cottams when next in St Helens, thanks bud
Well done Darren lovely video🎉 Although I can say from the pie shop I would have loved a steak and kidney pie😮
To be honest I ordered the wrong steak pie by mistake 🤣🤣 I was expecting the gravy to come out but it wasn’t there unfortunately 🙈
There easing u in the soon have you running around lol👍
Got Bradford on Monday, that’s definitely the furthest place I will have drove in a while 🤣
Reet looks decent but you can’t talk to me unless you get a pie from galloways 😂
I told him best pie shops are in Wigan 🙈😂

Oh Galloways is one of my favourite chains for sure
@@wiganbeargrylls 🤣
@@Life_of_Darren too right it is 😂
All container work is nights away and a lot off hanging about all driving mate I did it for years

They do have a lot of driver perks from what I’ve seen
@@Life_of_Darren I've also heard that a pizza van is brought into some depots on some Fridays too
@@matthewgarvey3911 that’s ace
@@Life_of_Darren I know I thought that myself

Side curtains are even more fun in the winter seasons with all the high winds too 😂
Lol 😂 new one on me Darren pie in a cob well that’s what we call them here lol 😂
Definitely a game changer if you haven’t tried them before!
Pimbletts might be well known, however, the best pies in St Helens without a doubt, come from Burchalls.
I’ll have to keep and eye out for them next time
Please do. They are amazing. The shop is on Westfield Street, if you are unsure.
Galloways is nice. I think the more independent pie shops the better, sick of just seeing Greggs everywhere.
Almost at 1k
Nearly there bud!
@@Life_of_Darrenwhat are you gonna do when you hit 1k?
not sure yet but i feel i need to do something, any ideas?
@@Mr_laugh_out_loud
Can't beat a pie on a Bap best ever!
It was just missing a touch of brown sauce

@@cloudmaker your sleep pattern must be all over the place
@@Life_of_Darren Luckily it's a fully relaxing weekend, although just been to the yard to swap my camera's to a 22 plate Scania for next week. 👍😁😁
Darren!! From a Yorkshire man, Pie sandwiches are just not a thing, lol.
You definitely need to give it a try 😂
I can honestly say the pies over here in New Zealand are next level, they are expensive but are way better than the UK
I’ll have to try some if I ever get down. New Zealand is a place I’ve always wanted to visit
@@Life_of_Darren plenty of work over here bro
