Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

Here,s another pic of " The Joker ", loading peaches in Cesana.

Did Davies ever go anywhere on their own or did they only have one map between them :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: or was that a mappo :laughing:

Hi all, hi Gazzer has anyone spoke to Tim about the Aug Bank Sunday■■?

Regards Jimski

Hi all, me again jus spoke to Tim at the pub he hasn’t heard wether Sun was on or not I told him it was so he’s looking forward to seeing some drivers and ex drivers :unamused: ay Charlieone :unamused:

Regards Jimski

The Gerbil rung me today, he was with Nunkey. Tim was frantic about the get together as he hadnt heard anything. Nunkey was going in to call in and confirm sunday is a GO!

Truckers left to organise things for themselves :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Quai de Southampton, Townshend Thoresen quai. I have one of the road plaques from outside of the gate when I parked there one night, souvenir. Had to be done. I still have it.

On the Quai de Southampton was there a link-span at both ends because I seem to remember the water being on my left when loading on TT boats?? Might be my brain though :unamused: :smiley:
