hiya,
Dennis I know you can make a canny job of roping and sheeting,
but this job entails being able to load and unload the dishwasher.
thanks harry, long retired.

Harry,
I might be loading the dishwasher later but I’ll probably get the cold shoulder 
Well actually lads the loading,but not always the unloading,is my job in our abode,!!When I first took on the job it took me a while to figure out that it didn’t need Sheeting and roping !!!.Oh! and “H” I pointed out to my eldest granddaughter the house you were born in on the Quay,which she now calls “The crooked house”,now I just couldn’d recall for her what folks were called that had been born on The Quay at Lancaster,we’re out to lunch to-morrow so if you can tell me I’ll pas it on !! I told her that I knew someone who was born in the “Crooked house” but I knew for a fact that he wasn’t “bent” !! 
Cheers Dennis.

Dennis anyone born along St Georges Quay Lancaster is known as a “Slinger”.

what’s all this talk about dishwashers then ? if she got one of those it could be the thin end of the wedge . next thing she’d be wanting a washing machine and then a spin dryer . we have a perfectly good dolly tub and a mangle and they don’t use any electric . she has spent all my wages up to 1990 already , where would it end . cheers , dave

hiya,
Dave I hope you are maintaining the washboard and posser in good
working order and I hope you still make her whitestone the step.
thanks harry, long retired.
no steps at our bungalow , disabled ramps ( already there when we moved in ) but i did get her a tin of white paint to do the sides so poeple wouldn’t trip over them . i do let her borrow my jet wash to clean the back garden flags down though , i’m getting very generous in my old age . cheers , dave

Here we go again Dave:)
wait for the reply from he who knows all 
One thing I notice on this unit is that there does not appear do be a large exhaust fitted to it , & in previous postings emphasis has been made on exhaust size on ones supposedly fitted with this engine 
What engine did this one have?
Regards Pat
well iam just reading the january 2014 issue of classic & vintage commercials on page 45 peter davies has done a rite up about the GUY BIG J they talking about engine options they is no mention of the big 8 pot percy
A '76 shot of some units parked at the fron’t of the workshops,one of them being a new 8LXBigJ identical to the SOM unit in the previous post,well they look identical to me judging by the rear engine cowlings Bewick.
Another depot shot of the new 8LXB Big J,well you can see quite clearly that it is an 8LXB by the rear cowling jutting out from the back of the cab
