A fleet of V8 Bedfords and they still use the Foden

This was obviously some kind of publicity shot because I’m sure the landing legs are down on that trailer so when the Foden was dragged out from under the Scania would be coupled up and take the trailer away ! The term “Skin off a rice pudding” comes to mind when looking at that shot ! Cheers Denzil

No way, The Foden could cope with anything Dennis, , I know you never rated the good old Fodens as being any good, But lots of companys ran them like good old self and made a few bob doing so, Take care and stay safe my friend, Larry.

Howay Bonny Lad have you got two glasses handy then we can have a bit craic about the merits of operating Fodens eh! All the best Dennis.

I’m not ■■■■■■ honest Larry that’s how the shot come out of the file it was the right way up when i posted it !

What’s happening here then Denzil

Well Dan’l I’m very sorry to have to ■■■■ on your chips but FYI it was a VOSA training exercise to demonstrate how a top class haulier operates and maintains their fleet and in particular to demonstrate safe load security. Both MAP and the Driver were thanked for their assistance and congratulated accordingly. Never mind Dan’l better luck next time Cheers Denzil
