From a pub

Overheard in a north west pub.

German HGV driver suggesting U.K. drivers lazy and that he could make the trip from Germany unload and come over with another before any U.K. driver had been able to complete one trip.

Old man looks up from his drink “when I was young I could leave England early afternoon drop my load in Germany and be back home in time for a late tea”.

German driver “what were you driving?”.

Old man quietly

Spoiler:

“a Wellington”.
