Amusingly, at the age of 56.

 

what's amusing about it?

I saw an Eddie Stobart truck earlier, and the slogan on the side
struck me as a little tautological: "Delivering Successful
Distribution". I mean, you can't really distribute anything
successfully without delivering it, can you?

Not surprised you're a Mirror reader, BTW ;-)

 

Twice in one day? Man, that's bad luck.

 

His life, like his trucks, was limited to 56...

I'm not - it was the first google hit for it.

Ginger as ****

 

You should have given more of a clue in the subject of your post, ffs.

 

I thought it was a heart attack but maybe it was a stroke

 

On the beeb it says that there are over a thousand trucks in his
company now. Where's the 56 limit?

 

All HGVs have a limiter fitted which limits them to a max. speed of
56mph.

 

Ah, I see.

 

Absolutely **** all but what do you expect from someone who's recently
had heart problems at a much younger age?

 

doesn't actually seem to stop them doing ~70mph though - as witnessed
personally by myself recently on the A1(M).

 

There's quite a lot of tautology there!

 

Don't get it all wet, ffs.

 

me myself and I[1] aim to please.
