Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

Andrew Morrison take note, when you are close to the top you get rewards that the lowerings in the company cannot get there hands on, I did not ask for this addition it just appeared when I made a visit to Tracy Island the other day. Here is my truck second load of the day I might add with forage for the new beast’s in the barn which I acquired yesterday with more to come I hope ,Pictures to follow Andrew as I know you like the agricultural theme as well, Buzzer.

Well at the time of the application of the PGS sticker I did say it may start some anarchy within the troops, and as for “doog” that came from way back when every one got a nickname in our company and at that time I had longer hair than today and it was the general opinion that I resembled Doogal of majic roundabout only its only Horry who calls me by that name, come to think of it you aint got one yet maybe “pictures” or snappy perhaps cheers JD.

Buzzer. I know that your equine skills are only equalled by the Duke of Edinburgh. Your bovine expertise is second to none. Your transportation knowledge is legend. However I am not too impressed with your roping and sheeting skills. Sheet too small. Two straps. No cross front or back. Shame on you. Get Horry to show you how to do it properly. Not that I’m pickey or is that ■■■■■? Anyway you are still a lovely person and a warm human being. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Charlie a jar of Bursledons finest pickled shallots are here for you as soon as you can arrange transport for said goods, as for the loading skills I think these are fine and you may not be aware that I overwinter some cattle in southern Italy as the climate is more favourable and Mappo is shipping out Sunday lunchtime with that load. He will have to see if Cenis is still open as he may set the height buzzers of at the Blanc tunnel otherwise. He has no backload as of yet but being near to Christmas it may be of the liquid nature and our Italian agent in Wellow is on the lookout as we speak as he specializes in small parcells, well small anyway. And you know what they say, good things always come in small parcells, let me know when you have arranged transport to Alton for the afore mentioned goods, maybe a backload for someone from your neck of the woods, kind regards to Rose as I know what she has t put up with, cheers Buzzer.

Many thanks for your very kind and generous offer. I shall call in a few favours and arrange transportation of the said shallots. I am very fond of the above mentioned. Rose returns your regards and says what a kind and generous man you are. Regards Charlie

Birkenhead (Liver building in background)waiting for night boat to Belfast

That’s enough pictures of lorries for tonight I’ll let you get back to farming lol I know my place being just a lowly lorry driver :smiley:
As for the nick name a few have tried since I came here but nothing seems to stick John ■■
Having seen the old picture album I can now see the resemblance to Dougle lol talking of the old pics it’s about time Horry got em scanned & put on here :laughing:
Regards Andrew(with no nick name lol)

Tidy load that Buzzer, what have you been filling the shed with…? Had the vet to PD ours on Tuesday and unfortunately they sent a newly qualified vet, to say she was slow was an understatement we werent sure wether she was checking for calves or checking their teeth!, anyway she told us they were all in calf bar one, two have been a "bulling" since. Trouble is the vets bill will be the same regardless of the experience of the vet.....anyway seen as its a truck site here is a picture.

Good timing that Andrew,

Sorry to interject with farming banter, but I suppose it breaks the discussion up a bit…if it`s any consolation it is peeing down up in here in Wensleydale as well…

Cheers Wrighty.

Wrighty I must say that is one tidy old tin can you are in charge of there, I see it says fleet number70 so how many in that fleet ? as for the vets I know what you mean and ours now charge £120 an hour or part there of so you got to be well organized when they come to visit and there is a £20 visit charge on top of that but I was surprised as my TB test for 28 cost £240 plus the vodka and tonic so quite pleased with that. As for pregnancy testing our vets now scan if you want that done which I think is better. Bought two Charolais and four Sim steer’s Friday in Frome but the two other pens I wanted made to much dosh so got outbid but going again next week for more hopefully Buzzer.
