1 If your going to involve a third party at least give them the decency of
referring to them by their full name or initials,name or initials, after all
I suspect that you would not like to be referred to as just sealey.
2 Driving one type of vehicle does not mean you have the skills, knowlage,
experience or common sense to be able to drive any other vehicle
e.g. Reach truck means you would steer the wrong way
Counterbalance truck would mean you would break safety laws when you
put a car in reverse.
Both of the above do not require MSM.
3 your points are illegal and immoral and I hope the boys in blue call round
your place soon.
