Hi Eddie, I was just thinking about you the other day…oh yeh sorry,
it was a nightmare I was having…only kidding mate.
Must be my turn to buy the coffees…how you fixed for tomorrow Eddie…■■
Hi Tony can’t do Tuesday but could do Wednesday that’s ok
Nice to see you are ok eddie
Talking of Pete Monger I remember back when I was doing a bit of casual work for Skillbeech and I had to load a tilt with if memory serves large air con units which had to be roped down in the tilt I loaded it roped it took it back to Bakers Wharf and it was Petes load for Italy ! Knowing Petes reputation I thought it better not move !!
Any way on his return "Oi you come here " I thought oh no!! “Good bit of roping that mate never move at all”
See so my time in the navy wasn’t wasted, or all the bleeding loads I roped and sheeted for Meachers, ain’t roped or sheeted any thing for 30 years now but I bet I could still get it tight as a drum !
I’d love to have a crack at it and see !

Being a Southampton (postcode) lad I thought this might be the place to mention that I have just received my HGV licence renewal reminder, which means I have now had a HGV licence for 50 years. Not sure if I am boasting or complaining . I remember going to ‘The Castle’ HQ of the Hampshire County Council in February 1965 with proof of being over 21 to get Heavy Locomotive on my licence (I think that was the lorry class back then). The next day I was driving a 14 ton Bedfort tipper. Since then I have driven most marques and combinations and, assuming I pass the medical and renew, still have a ‘casual’ job running to Turkey (from Bulgaria) as and when required when I’m not in the UK.
hi just get back on page one on a job with Mr hill last week took this load from saris bury green to port Solent also on the job was mark Harris (chappalls) and Dave Clark and a young Mr Russ baker
Hi Gazz, I,ve got an I Pad as well mate, but the only way I know to put photos on
is through Photobucket, but it looks like you,ve done it the other way.
Jimmer,s put them on with an IPad, he,ll tell you I expect.
Just been signed off for another month Gazz…that makes it 5 months total.
HGV licence still under question with DVLA, and I,m 65 in April anyway so don’t think
I,ll be going back mate.
