Dead right Trev,here’s a shot of a Seddon 32/4 showing quite clearly the same air tanks in the same position as that rear that rear shot of those two Seddons shot in the Woodstock factory at Oldham we fitted an extra derv tank between the air tanks and the rear mudguard :unamused: I’ll have a butchers for a chassis shot of a Big J as I’m certain the main derv tank filled the O/s chassis side on the Big J.I’ve booked Mr.W. into the Presidential suite of the Midland Hotel to-morrow night,now that will make a hole in his ill gotten “Dodgy night fund” and he won’t even get a “parking ticket” so as to claim back half a Dollar when he gets back on the Island :frowning: Cheers Dennis.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Evening Dennis,nice to hear from yer. The photo was put on in good faith and who am I to argue with a Mayor and Councillor?
Won’t be able to make Midland Hotel tomorrow 'cos of low tides in Morecambe Bay so please don’t meet me int car park at Heysham,and anyroad me neet out money has gone,I’m just a poor wee pensioner like most folk on here.

Yours,

Anoniom

I’ve heard some far fetched bollox in my time :wink: Cheers Dennis.

anyone remember MARR FISH Big Js

Yes, we did occasional repairs on them (no 240’s though) and the Foden S39’s, but mostly we serviced the BMC FGK’s based at Hook.

Chris Webb:
Well,worth a try. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

The Mayor of Morecambe will be along shortly to put ya right Mr. Webb :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Well I never drove a Big J or a Seddon in those days being an AEC man but it looks like a Big J to me and that’s good enough. Anyroad it’s livened things up a bit Trev and we are getting closer… :grimacing:

hiya,
Well coming from someone who has driven Seddon’s and Big Js in the same era
knows that the Js wipers were only ever mounted at the bottom of the screen
yep Mr Webb I am aware it’s April the 1st but you need to get up a darned lot
earlier in a morning to catch this old soldier out. :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp: :imp:

Dave needn’t think he’s getting the Presidential suite at the Midland,“H” and Nosser are already vying for it,“H” has some local talent lined up for the evening as he has the better claim being a born and bred local (Slinger) but Nosser,I believe, has danced the “light fantastic” on a number of occaisions over the road from the Midland in the Winter Gardens,but don’t worry they’ll both be tucked up in bed by 8 PM with their Horlics.Oh! and as for Chris and me we’er off down the Barbary Coast that night where all the “real” talent hangs out (litrally),after we’ve had a few scoops in Smokey Joes bar that is :smiley: Cheers Dennis.

I’ve booked Elvis for the cabaret spot,well he has about as much chance of turning up as an SOM Big J has of turning up on the car park( with Fergie" at the wheel) :open_mouth: for everyone to pop outside and admire,well if any of them are still standing after “hammering” the free bar I intended putting on for the evening. :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :wink: Dennis.

Oh if only Berwick had taken that offer from Smith of Madison (as he mentioned in the BERWICK TRANSPORT thread) he may then have inherited a few Big J/ Gardner 240 units and then these whole 86 pages would have been superfluous! :laughing:
