Tea?

I remember when gritting main roads was standing on the back of a lorry shovelling the mix into a hopper of a spreader..
none of this different mix spread settings in a computer controlled comfy gritter..
the reversing up the steep hill outta town..
100m a turn two of you...
when Bob was a boy and Bing was king

I remember doing that. Standing at the back mindful of the fact that only what was on the shovel were to get thrown off. Whatever I felt needed doing.
Only requires one man, and they can't have him getting cold. Some might even dress for the weather.
GPS, don't forget the GPS which dictates where they go and is never wrong.
They had you doing it when you were but a boy?

Circa 1972..
I was about to leave my teenage years.....
Two of us on the back...
We crouched below the bantams cab out of the weather, did 100 or 200m each, I looked and saw no shovelling, he'd fallen off
We got picked up from pub.....

That long ago!
Not on the road behind you, hopefully.
Did you tell him off for making your turn longer and missing a bit.
Were pub before or after he'd fallen off?
