Über diesen Titel

This is the wonderful weekly podcast from a DULL MAN DRIVING (UK)

I am that dull man - a man driving around the country, for work (currently in a Volvo S90), travelling around 30,000 miles a year attending business meetings and appointments. I love being ‘out on the road’. I love travelling along our country’s intricate network of roads and motorways. I love stopping at motorway service stations, coffee shops and garage forecourts – Wildbean coffee and a chicken salad sandwich anyone? Oh yes. My working life exposes me to a truly fast paced, moving, thrusting Britain – all those hundreds of thousands of people out on the road, driving business forward. Making things happen. Commercial travellers, account executives, technical sales managers, sales agents, good old fashioned sales reps, van drivers, service engineers, truck drivers – all fantastic jobs, and wonderful areas of commerce to be involved in. No day is ever the same – there’s always a different challenge when you’re out on the roads of Britain. Avoiding potholes, avoiding traffic jams, avoiding straying into bus lanes, avoiding middle lane hoggers - now that’s a difficult thing to do! Avoiding drivers who leave their fog lights on, or people who use their fog lights in the rain – another difficult thing to do!

We’re all part of a community. We're fellow drivers, all of us trying to avoid these types of challenges and obstacles, and aiming to get to meetings, appointments or delivery slots on time. These are just some of the challenges we all face. If you're part of this same world, this fast paced, non-stop, commercial world, a business driver – I hope you’ll get to enjoy this weekly podcast. It’s something to entertain you, to engage you, to soothe you; it's something to listen to as you travel. Safe journey.

  • 7.Back in Time to Spring 1973
    May 28 2024
    You'll love this one ... it's a trip back in time to Spring 1973, when glam-rock ruled the medium-wave airways, Are You Being Served? was on TV, industrial action brought the country to its knees and Austin launched the brand new Allegro motorcar. Yes, when you think about it, life was pretty shit back then.

  • 6.Business is Just a Game
    May 21 2024

    You'll love this one - I talk about a special day from my boyhood, when I was just 6 years old, in the Spring of 1973. I then 'fast-forward' 11 years to my first ever job, at Armitage Shanks. Yes, you've seen that name when you're sitting quietly in a small room, deep in thought. I also recount an ancient story from Babylon, which reveals the FIVE LAWS of HOW TO MAKE MONEY. You can't AFFORD to miss this one. (Do you see what I did there?)

  • 5.A Bit of a Cult
    May 14 2024

    You'll love this one - I talk about a business trip (car journey, of course) to Sheffield and then on to the North East, and how I took part in a trial for table-service at Costa. I also talk about Social Media, The Wedding Present (great band) and introduce a fabulous new game called 'Guess the make of truck'. And if all that isn't enough, I also put it to you, dear fellow driver, that business is just a game and should never be taken personally.
