Looking at that Scammell Larry you would expect it to “draw” a pull from the Ministry by the way it appears to be sat on it’s arse eh!,I’m not for one minute suggesting that it was overloaded but it’s “demeanor” does it no favours eh! Cheers Dennis.

them crusaders looked mint in their colours!!! 
Lawrence you are to be congratulated for your efforts posting the photographs , comments etc with reference to what must be one of the few real !!! hauliers out there . Since you are now retired and have plenty of time on your hands you could turn to publishing ! a book about if not only about Adams history and perhaps also many other well known N.E. hauliers , if you got a move on it could be a best seller for Christmas , again many thanks for you very interesting posts .
hi all
can any of you old jakes drivers remember the old wooden hut café in the regent petrol station witch was open 24hrs a day 7days a week on the first hill out of leeds on the A62 Huddersfield rd,i worked there in the 60s 2of your drivers I new at that time, one was a young lad with a new 4 wheeler bmc,and the other one a scruffy bloke that always slept over the bonnet in a old and I mean old 6wheeler albion in the café car park I think his name was lockey?? and was known as the black prince as he never had a wash all week,just wondered what happened to them.

Aye I can remember the Old Hut Café near Peter Slaters yard, The Driver of the 6 wheeler Was called David Lochart but be allways got Lockey for some reason, The young driver on the BMC, Could have been Craggsy, or the late John Irvine, Regards Larry.

Aye well that was John (Ginger) Irvine, He worked for Jakey a lot of years, The other driver Craggsy is still about Now aged 80 , Regards Larry. PS. The reg on the BMC, Was it NJR— or LTN— ■■? it would be one or the other.
Looking back & having a think about the Hut, Im sure to begin with it was a Caravan, I recall the fellow behind the counter saying would I mind waiting a short while as he was thawing the bread buns out, Id never heard of frozen bread buns at all, I did think he was pulling my leg, But of course he wasn’t, Happy Days Eh, Regards Larry.
