No Pain, No Gain - 9781452074627

This is a true to life story, beginning with the author's vivid childhood memories of the 1950s, all through his Military Service and highlights the hardships suffered at sea, during the Cod War trawling days of 1973, when fishing out of the port of Grimsby was not undertaken lightly. It describes how, after leaving the fishing industry, he obtained his HGV class 1 licence and his lorry driving experiences, which were both colourful and humorous. It continues to highlight his ongoing experiences until his retirement at the present day, which gives substance to the title of the book; 'NO PAIN, NO GAIN!'
