    Yep, I can confirm that! I'm a nurse working in London England at the moment, and I can spot the English truckers coming through the door! We even have extra wide wheelchairs in ER now for them.

    Not sure why though. What was interesting about the TV reporting of the fire in the Channel tunnel was that every French, Polish or Belgian trucker interviewed was slim, and yet the English guys were huge.

    Not all of them, my man is OTR in the US, he ain't chubby, and I wouldn't trade him for an English guy, even though I'm English myself!
