Nothing is 'worse', taking the piss out of lorry drivers is not a crime.

Am I missing something here, as what's the connection between a fork lift truck driver and a lorry driver? They are two different things

Perhaps it was a reference to the Yorkshire Ripper, who was a prostitute murdering lorry driver

No he wasn't. He was a woman murderer, some of whose victims were prostitutes.
