Tone i spose your sat in the armchair celebrating the Diomond jubilee with all the bunting you saved out of the trucks you drove over the years, you must have plenty saved up as i remember when your truck went for MOT poor old Les Slaters first job was to move all the crap you had installed in the windscreen cos it would have failed if he had’nt you had a job to see out, ah another Mary Hopkin moment.

My god fte you remember that, and Tone you wuz wrong . I did two loads for solstor , new computers for IBM in Valencia and they were worth loadsa money and there was a holiday loomin,we either had to one hit it and tip or take our time and as it was so valuable we opted for the two day run. I was in one truck and Paul Nichols in the other and he had his brother Alan with him.Anyway we got to valencia and went to the docks to do customs and then when we got there we discovered it was factory clearance which was unusual and the ■■■■■■■ guard would not let us out any way it was a bonfire fiesta so we went to the first bar where we met two of Ian Rycrofts men we had a couple of drinks and decided to go to get some grub and the the chap in the bar said i’ll cook you a meal and there was about eight of us one dutch and two danes. corse we wuz stil there eight hours later and by then we said we’ll have one for the road and then cloggy said i get one for the road then the danes and then the landlord and i was fine till i got outside and started to walk back to the truck, had a ■■■■ fell over and could not get back up, lucky for me Paul and his brother had fo followed me back and manhandled me in to the truck but i was feelin crap. The guard warned us the rottweiler ran loose at night so dont get out the cab anyway i threw up out the window and in the morning it had all gone so the old dog had a good tea, the next day i felt crap never goin there again promise never never never. Deffo another Mary Hopkin moment and im’e T total honest Tone.

Evening Horry, Busy weekend, but just to let you know I spotted R1 GEL on Friday by chance.Davies going a different route this time , so not past my front gates.Was taking the Wife to shops but stopped in my 4x4 to flash the rig and trailer through the traffic calming in Coxheath.Got the thumbs up of thanks from your Driver.Must have come via Maidstone I guess.Time approximately midday…and yes it was looking very smart.

Had to go to the yard today to take away the old knackered load lock poles for Horry, we dont like leavin stuff like that lying about as it atrracts the wrong type of personel.
While i was there i took a pic of the tank set up on our present volvo’s, i believe the pair hold something in the region of 1700 ltrs which weighs a considerable amount, we have these fitted to all our new trucks and i think Horry said they pay for themselves within 4 months simply buy the saving on the foriegn fuel cost. We also have 600 ltr tanks on the frigo’s, would give most blokes a heart attack filling up one of our trucks. Even though they have security locks on it doesent stop some theives, today ime afraid they are professionals and they just cut a hole in your tank, we have lost 200 ltrs or more several times these boys dont ■■■■ about they got big pumps that ■■■■ quick and usually the drivers dont here a thing.PS hey Horry looks like that wheel in the pick needs a bit of paint round the rim, how standards slip when you aint got your fingre on the pulse ! !
Good evening all,your right about the rims John standards starting to slip av a word with Horry!!!
