Tell us something about yourself none of us would know
When i was 18 I managed to plough a 7.5tonne lorry into one of the top bosses car at work. The problem was i never had a driving Licsence or even had a lesson. One of the bosses took the wrap for it as he told me to move it because i was the only person who could get this lorry started. Fortunatley it was on privite property and was claimed for on company insurance so i never got into trouble.
