HGV joke

[old smokie]

A German lorry driver in a pub in Newcastle is gobbing off how lazy British
truck drivers are. He's bragging that he drives his load from Hamburg, goes
through Holland, Belgium up to Newcastle and back to Hamburg in just two days.

This old Geordie man mutters up, "Ah, way ay I used to pick up me load in Newcastle, drop it
off in Hamburg and be back in Newcastle for a fish and chip supper the same day".


The gobby German trucker said, " Oh yah, vot rig were you driving then?"


After taking long swig of his Pint of Newcastle Brown, the old fella
replied.......... "A LANCASTER BOMBER!" 

[Chris Pringle]

Surely he meant to say that he picked his load up in Newcastle of an evening, and was back in Newcastle for a full English breakfast the next morning?

And would the joke work better in Middlesbrough or Darlington, which seem to be the nearest Bomber Command airfields to Newcastle?

But thanks for the joke, it's still a good 'un.

Reminds me of the joke about the BA pilot taxiing at Frankfurt

'Allegedly the German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They, it is alleged, not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark,... and I didn't land." '

A customer of mine is a British Airways pilot and while on the taxiway waiting to take-off at Dusseldorf was listening into the normal exchange (in English) between air traffic control and a Lufthansa 737 pilot.  During the conversation the Lufthansa pilot answered in German.  Air traffic control immediately asked the pilot to repeat in English.  The pilot, now speaking in English asked the rhetorical question, why does he, a German, flying a German aeroplane in Germany have to talk to a German air traffic controller in German?  In the brief silence that followed (and my BA friend swears it wasn't him) someone answered in a very polished Oxbridge accent, "Because my dear chap, you lost the war".

Meanwhile, earlier in the proceedings...


Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria's pint.

Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete new suit because there are splashes on its trouser leg.

Germany expresses its support for Austria's point of view.

Britain recommends that everyone calm down a bit.

Serbia points out that it can't afford a whole suit, but offers to pay for the cleaning of Austria's trousers.

Russia and Serbia look at Austria. Austria asks Serbia who it's looking at.

Russia suggests that Austria should leave its little brother alone.

Austria inquires as to whose army will assist Russia in compelling it to do so.

Germany appeals to Britain that France has been looking at it, and that this is sufficiently out of order that Britain should not intervene.

Britain replies that France can look at who it wants to, that Britain is looking at Germany too, and what is Germany going to do about it?

Germany tells Russia to stop looking at Austria, or Germany will render Russia incapable of such action.

Britain and France ask Germany whether it's looking at Belgium.

Turkey and Germany go off into a corner and whisper. When they come back, Turkey makes a show of not looking at anyone.

Germany rolls up its sleeves, looks at France, and punches Belgium.

France and Britain punch Germany.

Austria punches Russia.

Germany punches Britain and France with one hand and Russia with the other.

Russia throws a punch at Germany, but misses and nearly falls over.

Japan calls over from the other side of the room that it's on Britain's side, but stays there.

Italy surprises everyone by punching Austria.

Australia punches Turkey, and gets punched back. There are no hard feelings because Britain made Australia do it.

France gets thrown through a plate glass window, but gets back up and carries on fighting.

Russia gets thrown through another one, gets knocked out, suffers brain damage, and wakes up with a complete personality change.

Italy throws a punch at Austria and misses, but Austria falls over anyway.  Italy raises both fists in the air and runs round the room chanting.

America waits till Germany is about to fall over from sustained punching from Britain and France, then walks over and smashes it with a barstool, then pretends it won the fight all by itself.

By now all the chairs are broken and the big mirror over the bar is shattered.

Britain, France and America agree that Germany threw the first punch, so the whole thing is Germany's fault .

While Germany is still unconscious, they go through its pockets, steal its wallet, and buy drinks for all their friends.
