Cheers Dreva, I’ll get the hang of it eventually, these pic’s in the snow are my last trip to Hungary, Trevor Nussy was the other driver who went with me, it was his first time out there, the weather was fine until we woke up on the services South of Prague, he said what do we do now, I said go back to bed, because you remember they hadn’t invented road salt in the Eastern block, and the road was like an ice rink, so we waited until after breakfast, bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms,and egg, tea toast and butter, “a real continental breakfast”, English style.
As you can see on the others, as we got to Bratislava it was really bad, but we were used to it, Trevor wasn’t but we managed, but he was a good lad to run with, the load was plastic bottles from Sherburn for the new Pepsi Cola factory near the border of Sopron, but we had to come out the long way round, because they’d stopped lorries going out from Sopron, a good trip but a cold one.:-Jack
BIGGEE:
Great photographs, now this is what I meant when I said where are all the wool men, these firms could load wool, they hadn’t invented containers then, this was the real job where men got there hands dirty, blistered, split and bleeding hands with the ropes, but it was the norm, and every night and weekend we drank to it in the Lord Clyde, Great Northern, Bedford Arms, that was when men were men, and drivers were drivers, the wool men of Bradford seamed to be a breed on there own, every one what ever firm it was always helped one another, be it at home or on the docks both tipping or loading, they all worked together, that’s what the job was all about in those days, and it was great, Bells, Ashworths, Fielders, Jimmy Kings, and a few more, if someone got stuck there was nearly always someone to help which ever firm it was, I know some of you will remember even more firms, but it was the drivers who did the sweating and the hard work, I wont mention driving today, because it’s another story.:-Jack
