Who are you neil …not the tax man are ya…I happen to know that Neil is NOT the tax man… He is a damned decent and hospitable fella, who has worked very hard to achieve all that he has…
I also happen to know that he will be wondering how I know this…
Cast your mind back about 20 years, Neil, and you may come up with the answers…

Yep, I’ve seen the old girl, on the scrapbook thread I believe. That brought back a few memories, good and bad…
It also triggered the connection to Neil B, which was great.
Neil…
Yep, all well thanks. Not driving anymore and haven’t been for sometime but still have the diesel in the veins. Great to hear that yourself, Marie and all the family are well. I must start doing the shows again, it would be great to catch up with one another…
Back to the cattle trucks…
