Ah yes but did any of them have a duck house in the middle of a pond at tax payer’s expense, that’s what I want to know.
What you are saying Gazzer is they should have been more like me, charming, discrete and pleasant. Once Micky Cooper told me to stick my truck up my ■■■, some years later he came back in looking for work to which I replied, im’e still trying to remove that truck. Long memory I suppose, cheers Buzzer.
Hey hey come more this is getting funny !!! 
don’t back down now Gazzer !!!
Regards Jimmer ( put me down for the jolly Buzzer it’s gonna be a right giggle )
This reminds me of a bit of advice I was given by an old transport manager. " Please make sure brain is engaged before operating mouth" Both Gazzer and myself take no notice of of this whatsoever! Regards Charlie.

Hi Jeremy,
Sorry to hear that,another character gone,I remember him in the 60’s moving all the chalk around Portsmouth,Havant and Petersfield I think Jack Sparshatt was involved at one time with him in Hughes years ago now. He lived out the back of Salisbury at Wyle last time I saw him.
Hope you are well give my best to Dad.

Here,s an old Meachers AEC…spot the mistake with the sheeting.

If there is a strong wind from the south-west, the sun is partially eclipsed, you have a four-in-line configurated 33’ trailer and a strong headboard, there may be mysterious reasons for roping the flysheet instead of tying it. Who knows?

It would be a brave man who drove that rig into Bewick’s yard!

The driver looks brave enough to drive into Bewick’s yard. Look at his confident stance: straight back, absence of youth, probability of experience… There MUST be some good reason for his decision! Robert
Mappo bet you remember going through that Bargate Arch on your way to the fruit market on the day it opened just after WW1 and it was all handball, cheers Buzzer.
That,s a bit cheeky Buzzer, I used to deliver / collect from the fruit market
in Southampton, but I first went there in the late 60,s in a transit van, then
a 7 tonner Leyland Boxer…I was fit then unlike today.

I,m very surprised that no one has pointed out that the back sheet has been put on
after the front one…sackable offence …

Tony I worked in an office in the market as a trainee salesman in the late 60’s for R.Drouet &Co and they were part of the fruit and produce exchange, always remember an old chap from Pompy who always came in Fridays just before close of play in his J type Bedford (single wheels on the back) and buy anything that was near the end of shelf life and sell it on a Saturday which was better than chucking it away Monday morning. Drouet’s were where Habitat moved into if you can remember.
Buzzer…as a salesman you might remember the fruit & veg firm that I and
also Fergie worked for at the time…initially it was called Oberyield and then Simons.
My memory ain’t what it was, but companies in the market I recall, were Pouparts,
Rowe and Geco, oh and Dan Wuille ■■?..blimey that was 45 / 46 years ago.
