Hi Buzzer and everyone keeping this thread alive.
Great to see this thread going and what a great read it is.
Nice to see you have still got your finger on the pulse John, how are you ?.

Paul.
Hi Paul nice to see you make an entry on here. I only bin on since january but have enjoyed it very much it brings back so many memories.

We do see some old faces from time to time pop in for a cup of tea and a chat so if you get near please call in. Before i go must thank you on behalf of all the people who look on this thread as ime sure they are glad you started it, i come on a lot when theres naf all ont telly as i suspect others do the same and of course weve got Andrew Morrison who keeps us up to date on the scene today lots of us secretely wishing we were still part of it. Dont forget if you come close call in bi bi for now regards Buzzer (John)
Good evening Mr Who, hope you are ok. Still remember first time I met you when I was a mere sprog (well about 14) It was in TIR Park at Irun and you were driving a metallic blue F10 or F12? for Keith Barrett. If I remember correctly, he was an absolutely mad Newcastle United fan and would follow them round the country home and away. Other names that ring ‘Barrett Bells’ are: Plum, Willy and Lex. Spoke to Jocky the other week, take care Who, Horace x

Horrys forgotten one name that was Graham from the cotswolds some where i think, a quiet man got on with the job doing work out of Spain (Jose Canovas Pardo) i believe always overweight with melons and the like .Dont know if Keith Barratt is still about but if he is he must be lovin the football he followed Newcastle every where
Buzzer:
That probabley is a record Tone. When they drilled them holes in that frigo you wuzzent wearin them short black shorts black socks and sandles wuzz you?
hjmukWell boys I did load Tank Tracks out of Longtown to Split and went overland…A lone Davies truck (which was rare) all the way down and cross loaded alone as well (perhaps it was the shower gel)…
Mr Paul Who; How the hell are you matey,very long time, I still speak to Mr Clarke from time to time,the last time was a couple of weeks ago and he was of to his farm… Take care…BV…
Heres a pic i just looked out dont know if its been posted before but its when we ran Scannies this one did get pulled a couple of times cos of the number plate but most cops saw the funny side, this would have been in the early ninetys got a fellin Scott drove this.
Heres one from the past, we had several trailers in Sydney Harts livery which reflected the amount of work we did for them, We were in at the beggining taking down all the office furniture and forklifts when it was set up.The drivers liked it but could be loaded late a lot of times, and it was two and a half shifts to a ferry from Sanfulgencio any way it came to an end eventually as all good things do but was good for us while it lasted.
Good work was Sid,s Buzzer, but i reckon that if we were doing that in the ‘two tone blue’ days
that would have been a bit quicker than two and a half shifts back to the ferry.
Finally got to Antibes as you would imagine Roman’s (as we call him!)place was in a very good location but not for a truck!!! he has bought all surrounding land & buildings just to knock em down so he can have a bit more privacy & a small garden?? This was the first of 7 loads that went down of which Davies’s done 3.Was very tight gate as well?our last one went down said someone had hit/bent gate post & it wasn’t us so big up the blue & whites Roman also makes a lovely cup of tea regards Andrew x
Loaded in scunthorpe tip Antibes company laying turf from Abingdon,my neck of the woods small world en it? oh & by the way Tone kept at plus 2 degrees constant,very important grass this!! & my lawn mower is LEZ compliant but i wer’nt gonna tell Horry just in case. regards Andrew

Of course in the old days Andrew i would have expected you to lay that turf when you got there but life today for you drivers is easy street you ask Mappo, hes the one whos a dedicated follower of fashion.
Andrew Morrison:
I did offer to lay it as well but apperantly my load of apples were ready & more important
Now you see Andrew if you had hung around at least you could have tried out your LEZ compliant lawn mower or has Roman signed you as chief grass technition and you aint told Horry yet?
