Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

Ringwood and Salisbury Constabules were on the lookout for you back then Buzzer, thought you were easy pickings.

I had a helluva job getting anyone to bring me any wine when I hung up me “Conduit a droit” mode.

Hey Jim at one time in trhe early years i was banned longer than i held a licence. The last endorsement and ban i was drivin a fordson major tractor on bale cart at landford wood and had a comin together with an e type jag and got done for it.

I’ve been trying to make out the endorsement from Ringwood Buzzer but can’t make out what it says
Go on tell us what it says !! Give us another laugh !!!
Failing to maintain a braking system !! :blush: :blush: woooops !
Eddie Huntley was telling a story about returning some brake linnings after fitting new ones and they said to him you didn’t need to take off the old linnings we would have done that ! He said I didn’t that’s how they came off the truck!!! Now that’s what I call maintaining a braking system :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Actually Jim it say ( driving in a manor dangerouse ) that was on a 650 triumph thunderbird , about six of us were havin a burn up as we used to call it from Fordingbridge to Ringwood, nice bendy road for that but in the old days when you hit the A31 at Ringwood it was a junction not a flyover as today and we came round the last corner givin it welly and couldent stop. The consequences of that i went over the first bit of road on the deck on my side and ended up in the central reservation not a good end and the old bill wernt to impressed either and hence i got done . Gutted to lose me licence for a first offence but then ime sure i was not the only one to go though that, they call it a learning curve, the only problem is that i never learnt quick enough.

A curve to far !! 650 thunderbird ay were you one of them greaser types then John you didn’t hang out at the Cottage Cafe in Totton did you??

No jim our cafes were in Fordingbridge and i was a Red Devil. Also had a reunion last year at the Alice Lisle pub.

I was referring to getting vin de plonk from Uropa to England when I was confined to the UK and I still had trucks going overseas. Non chaufeur collaboration me thinks.

Here where vino de plonko is 65 cents a bottle it’s not an issue but I was never really a fan of Spangol plonko, preferring Italian Vintners style and no we are not talking Frizzante or Lambrusco! I did ask one our Italian subbies to bring me a box of Frizzante but he refused saying it wasn’t wine. I didn’t care and neither would the fellow drivers I could have proffered it too at one of my summer BBQ’s. It doesen’t help that when I come over by car in the summer, I travel thru France on a sunday and all the supermarkets are closed!

Many a driver bin incapacitated by frizante or vino calapso as Longo used to call it, got to be chilled though Gazzer got to be chilled.Longo once made a curry with our leftover christmas turky and did in three one and a half litre bottles in the process.

Do you know Jim i swear i saw the first sighns of Pat crackin up when i visited the " T " party last week, maybe he’s bin seeing to much of Scorey. P

I put this on Soton thread but you all need to learn the words of our anthem ( THOSE WERE THE DAYS ) ready for the re union. Pat cant get the tune out of his head but now he can sing all the words as well. When you read this as i said on the soton site it is very apt to a lot of us wishing we could relive the past.
