Hi John,
Good old Outline Ivor James…always found Outline the best factory to load out of to be honest mate…loads always ready on the floor to go…nice canteen :smiley: …Creative Sid Andrews comes second…Associated in Bennett Street Dai Cowboy the worse…could be waiting half the day for the load that were still making it :smiley: …good old days.
Some nice pics there John the TK is still at the back of the yard and one stored in the warehouse.

TN Philips Fishguard also had a furniture shop in Fishguard back in the day…Lawton Phillips went on to change the name to Dyfed Removals & Storage…nice guy Lawton to do well last I herd.

Hi Steve,not good mate agency. drivers are useless we have them they bring jobs back all the time ,we had one on nights he left the yard to go to oldbury they looked on the tracker he heading down the m25 they phoned him to tell him to stop he didn’t know where Birmingham was he thought it was towards Dover he was foreign mind you :laughing: ,I would claim of the agency for the damage how much has that pushed you back pity help if you had been there you be on a 10 stretch with a big hairy man :laughing:

I can not go to the MAN dealer to look at the damage today :open_mouth: :imp: ,so around 9am if you feel the ground moving you know its me jumping up and down , we are going to pick it up Monday morning ,sort the wagon out for the day and then take it to Preston to be looked at , at the Man dealers the sales man said they would not valet it out until it comes back from Preston ,I told him you will valet it out before Monday and if it needs it again when it comes back you do it again !!! checky feeker !!! and 5 min before he was explaining his driver damaged it :imp: , I was going to say stick the wagon up your arse then !!! I am the client ! :smiling_imp: :unamused:

Here is another new Corgy model

very nice model there Carl, we had one petrol Tk here in the late 60s , Dad sold it after 6 months and bought a comer karrier which he loved .

If that’s on the market I will have it done in w Jones colour ,are you putting a mat on the start of the ramp with please wipe your feet :laughing: :laughing: looking very smart ,you should contact man head office and explain what’s happening and then see how the dealers bend over backwards for you
