Hi Kev,
That would be the blanc then

Must be Susa Tony, me with a ROBA trailer before we were whisked up to the smoke and REAL trucking for Chingfords! Proper Euro tramping,…good ole Mark! We were prepared to go anywhere, at anytime from anywhere!

Chippiona (33 deg) to Stockholm (-10 deg and 1ft of snow) and still wearing shorts!

MaggieD:
Hi Pat,sorry you have the wrong man I worked on Mont Cenis in the customs all the English drivers paid me 10,000 lira when they came through with a Non Quota !!

Hi Maggie D.
As you are obviously not “fingers” of BY fame :confused: i guess you really must be
as you say, the customs man from Mont Cenis. :wink:
I never did understand your italian tradition of discreetly passing a 10,000 lira
note between my t-forms & good permit. :blush:
I now realise now that you must have been conning me every week in the summer whilst transiting your wonderful border. :unamused:
I say this because my permits were always legit and sometimes even a slightly different shade of green than the others. :open_mouth:
These permits were specially delivered from Newcastle to the south via the local I.O.W. office.
I calculate that over quite a number of years i and my former employers
contributed greatly towards what must be your mansion in Romsey.
I therefore am demanding a refund of 100,000,000 lira
I have enclosed a plain S A E :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Regards in anticipation Tony

My fuzzy, lateral logic says that MaggieD as in Magirus Deutz, that beloved vehicle of Richard (Stumpy)Evans, who resides (resided) in the Romsey vicinity could be one and the same?

mappo:
