Britain's oldest lorry driver works 12-hour days and passes health MOT at the age of 90

A sprightly 90-year-old dubbed Britain's oldest lorry driver, who works 12-hour days, says that as long as he feels "fit" he will carry on.

And after a health MOT from his doctor, Brian Wilson, who is 91 in March, has been told he can continue for at least another year.

Mr Wilson started his career as a lorry driver in 1953, when he began delivering petrol for Esso and 70 years later, the father-of-four still wakes up at 4am for his 12 hour shifts delivering to various places in the UK such as Rochdale, Birmingham and Newcastle.
