At least ten years, not quite at Reading, but close by on the M4.
Cheers Dave.

Well I’m bu**ered!
I remember when there wasn’t a cup of tea between Membury and Heston. There’ll soon be more services than motorway.

Lurpak,Is Clive Turley still involved with the company? We done some business with him when I was in partnership with John Woodward.

[bazztrucker]

hi leylandlover, clive turley is still very much in charge,he runs the caravan side while is son mark runs the transport.

[retired_old_fart]

Clive flogged me a little Scout as a temporary home after I made my escape from wife number two. In a really generous gesture, he lent me his car to tow it home as my own had no towbar.
That must have been around 30 years ago.

[leylandlover]

ROF,It seems like these foresters liked you,shame you now take the mickey out of our bears and pigs I recently read about the court case on Sun Green and was shocked to find out that a distant relative was involved. I think my partner and I sold Clive a lorry in about 1974.

Did he ever get his car back or are you still ‘borrowing’ it?. Just to set the record straight of course…You understand…

[retired_old_fart]

Clive got his car back the same day. As I recall, it was an Austin Maxi, fairly well stricken in years, while mine was a restored VW 1600.

Malvern TruckFest was on over the weekend, Yers a couple of locals that were there…
