Question: Whatever happened to lorry drivers wearing white boiler suits? Here you see two Watneys drivers wearing the more 'traditional' version while curvy model, Miss 'April Showers' (38, 22, 36) demonstrates the ill-feted, one-piece, white Spandex cat suit that was to due to replace the old-fashioned garment. And how well Biglorryblog recalls the disastrous launch event in the mid-60s when, to the gasps of horror from Her Majesty's truck press, April's elastic socks got tragically caught in the step ring....and...well I can't bring myself to describe what happened next...Needless to say it's imprinted on BLB's brain forever. (And for a pie who has got any more shots of British HGV drivers wearing white boiler suits? I seem to recall all of Tate & Lyle's drivers had them)....And what's sparked all this off?

Blame it on that bloomin' Gary Richards for sending this in to me....it seems even the Aussies tinkered with white boiler suits for brick delivery drivers---before eventually settling for the more recognisable navy blue Jackie Howe singlet, 'Beyond the Black Stump' shorts....and Akubra hat with corks....
