The driver said: “All of a sudden I've become extremely friendly to everyone.

“I used to be a right miserable sod, and now I talk to my neighbours – they're in complete shock.

“But it's not all fun and games.

“Because I was a grumpy old fella, and my personality has changed completely – you won't believe this when I tell you – but my wife thinks I'm having an affair.
