Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

To be honest with you Kerbut, I found that after a few cognacs
at the bar, the pong didn,t bother me too much :laughing: …plus at the
time I was on 60 cigs a day then so had no sense of smell anyway.
I hasten to add that I finally gave them up 3 and a half years ago. :sunglasses:

Thanks for brightening it up Harry. It’s only a phone photo and in the evening sun

Look at le grande seleccion! Not changed at all in diversity.

Be grateful Gazzer that they didn,t want chicken / poulet…you,d have probably witnessed
something like a ’ Monty Python ’ sketch. :laughing: :laughing:
