-I'm Geraint Lloyd and I live -in Tynrhelyg, Lledrod. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
-I'm a presenter on Radio Cymru -and the founder of Bois Y Loris. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
-Bois Y Loris, a club for lorry -drivers, started in 2002 or 2003. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
-Many lorry drivers would get in -touch during our nightly broadcast. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
-They would phone in with requests. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-Gradually, we started to give -the drivers more airtime. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-This was before the club, -Bois Y Loris, existed. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-They were individual drivers. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-Each one was given a number... | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
-..then we picked a number out -of a hat and they won a prize. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-The prize was a Geraint Lloyd mug -or umbrella back then. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-We then decided to make Bois Y Loris -a regular feature. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
-Every Thursday night, -drivers got in touch with us. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-We'd ask them where they were going -and what they were carrying. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-Each one had a different load. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
-We'd chat with the members -every Thursday night... | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
-..and soon it turned -into Bois Y Loris night. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-Some of the drivers -wanted to keep their numbers. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
-Gareth Werna was number 10, -Jack Vaughan was number 25... | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-..Emyr the Eggs was 53. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
-All of a sudden we had a club... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
-..that was growing -from week to week. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-In next to no time, -we had hundreds of members. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-There are now over 350 members. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-Driving a lorry is lonely work. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-A lot of these drivers -jump in the lorry on a Monday... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
-..and maybe -don't come home until Friday. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-They sleep in the lorry. -It's their way of life. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-Contacting the programme -helped them. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-I don't know how many of them -get homesick... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-..but perhaps they do. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-It's difficult work at times. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-They carry all sorts -of different loads... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-..and have to unload the lorry -in all weather. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-I'm Eifion Jones. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-I live in the village of Cwmsychpant -between Llandysul and Lampeter. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-I've been driving for eight years. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
-I've been working for LAS -for nine months. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-I don't travel very far. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-I go as far as Cardigan, -Llandovery and Llandeilo. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-That's the catchment area I work. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
-I gave up farming eight years ago. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-I left school at 15 years of age -and worked on the family farm. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-I then decided to go down -a totally different route. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-It's been an eye opener to see -what goes on in the outside world. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
-A farmer is... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
-..in his a world of his own -and keeps his business shipshape. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-He doesn't realize -what's going on beyond the farm. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-I've kept up my interest -in farming and agriculture... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-..and subscribe -to Dairy Farmer and British Dairy. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-Friesian cattle grazing in -springtime is a sight to behold. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
-Driving can be tricky in places -such as New Quay and Llangrannog... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
-..early in the morning, -where the streets are very narrow. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-It's tricky in summer too... | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-..when there are lots of tourists -and people parking everywhere. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
-Alright? How are you this morning? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-Good. Nice day, isn't it? Beautiful. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-When I was farming, Gwilym, -a friend of mine who passed away... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-..and his brother, Tommy, -used to work for Mansel Davies. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
-I used to ask if I could -drive the lorry up the road. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
-I often got a real thrill -out of sitting in the lorry... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-..and only driving 300 metres! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-I'm on a low-yeast diet. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-I don't eat a sandwich -made with conventional bread. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
-I'm trying soda bread -and it's quite nice. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Thank you. Ta-ra. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-Make sure you get a coffee -with Dorian tomorrow. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-What's going on? Oh, you're filming. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-A programme for S4C. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
-A programme for S4C. - -And I'll be on it! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-Make sure you get the machine. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-And get the name of the lorry in! | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-Good, thank you. Ta-ra! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-How's it going, lads? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
-How's it going, lads? - -Good. What's going on? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-I'm carting some rubble. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-Are you going to Lampeter today? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-Is he safe with that camera? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
-Is he safe with that camera? - -Yes, lad. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-You'll be in News Of The World! | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-That's what I was looking for -when I left the yard this morning. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
-I had no idea, -until I worked for LAS... | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-..and went into the depot, -what work was carried out there. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
-Tonnes upon tonnes of rubbish -goes through the process. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-One person feeds the rubbish -into the machine... | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-..and four or five others -take out various items of waste. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-Magnets sort out the tins. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
-The waste is spun -in different directions. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-It's hard to believe. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-It sorts it automatically -and spits it out. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
-Farmers are under strict instruction -to produce quality food. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
-But it all ends up with us -on the bins. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
-If farmers came with me -on my rounds... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-..they wouldn't believe how much -of the quality food they produce... | 0:08:01 | 0:08:07 | |
-..goes to waste. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-Often it hasn't even been touched. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-I'm lucky in a way because I have -a poor sense of smell. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
-When I say to my co-workers... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
-.."That bin smells"... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-..they're almost passing out. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-I'm lucky -having a poor sense of smell. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-Mothers taking their children -to school... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
-..and even grown men passing by... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-..hold their noses or cover -their noses with their coats. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-A few will often turn back and say, -"Your lorry stinks." | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-I say to them, "It's not my lorry, -it's your rubbish that stinks." | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |

-People think that I know -every member of the club. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
-I'd love to know them all... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
-..but I've got to know many of them -over the years. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
-We've met up -and had several dinners. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-It's great because for many years... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-..I only knew them by name. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
-I'd read out their names -on the radio. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-Just that gave a sense -of familiarity between us in a way. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
-Why am I interested in lorries? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-Anything with four wheels. -There's something about lorries. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
-They're big, colourful, exciting. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-It's also about the travelling. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |

-Driving relaxes me. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-If I were to do a different job... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-..I'd love to be a lorry driver... | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-..sleeping somewhere different -every night. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
-The Bois Y Loris club -is unique in a way... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-..because they're mostly all -Welsh speakers. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |

-Television series have been made -about all kinds of lorries. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
-But what's unique -about our club here in Wales... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-..is the fact -that they come from rural Wales. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |

-When I travel long distances... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-..to England or wherever, -there's nothing better... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-..than seeing a lorry on the M25 -motorway with a Welsh flag flying... | 0:10:54 | 0:11:00 | |
-..or hanging -in the back of the cab. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-It's a very reassuring feeling. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-My name's Dorian Davies. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |

-..with one lorry... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
-..and now he has four on the road. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |

-We're passing Emyr's house - -Lampeter Eggs. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-The lorry's parked outside -so he must have a day off. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
-It's alright for some! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
-We're taking this load to Margam... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-..to be used as biofuel. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-The site is used for tipping. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-I'll stop for breakfast on the way. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
