What a lot of people donât realise, is that if Cliffâs trailer had itâs side or rear doors open it usually meant that he was off duty and ready to entertain. His hospitality was second to none. That empty trailer probably had a few pallets drawn up for sitting on, some decent wine on tap and Cliffâs unparalleled cooking sending fragrant wafts into the atmosphere.
It didnât matter where you were: North Africa, Spain, France⌠Cliff would include you in his brilliant version of the good life. Iâve heard that his hostelry in the south west reflects this. God bless him! Robert
Thank you for those kind words Robert in those dayâs travelling in Europe did most of my eating in restaurants.We did have some good cook ups in Morroco though, it was easy with so much time on our hands and the help of a fridge in the cab and freezer in the food box on the side of the unit. Happy dayâs
Those little F86s were dead reliable little motors in rigid form,dont know about in artic form as they
must have been working flat out all the time. My grandad had a 6 wheeler that was bullet proof !
Found this on the net.
Thanks Dean I think that was probably the first of the leylandâs to arrive, looks like the yard in Chard.

Thanks for that Dibbs.
I might need to be corrected here but I think this was the last village you went through in France before going over Mont Cenis I await your reply.
Cliff was that Lanselbourg ? but it is a long time ago, miss those days so much, talking to one of our drivers in the yard yesterday he said if I went now I just would not recognise the route that takes you to Italy today, how times change. Thinking out loud next year it is 30 years ago I bought my first new truck Globetrotter C789 BPO wish I still had her today Buzzer.
Canât remember the name John as you said it was a long time ago ,the truck you mentioned is that the one Tony Bradfield had. Thanks for the reply.
