How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

You can go too far the other way......like Matt (for this is not quite his name).
Most HGV drivers like a tidy cab. You live in it all week, so it keeps things comfortable.
Matt was something else. He would wash the seat covers, the bunk curtains and the bunk cover every 2 weeks. He would keep the floor rubber black with shoe polish. He would climb on top of the cab and polish the roof. He would jack up the cab and polish the engine.
Then he got a job on tarmac. Now, most guys on the blackstuff are fairly mucky. It's black, and it sticks solid within 30 minutes of cooling. It covers the back end, the sides and the wheels. Matt worked out that if he went round with a rag soaked in diesel straight after unloading, it would come off. Bearing in mind he might do 5 loads a day, he had a 25 foot tipper body and he still had all the other stuff to do as well.
Only tipper driver I know who has a lace pelmet, and changes it every day.
