I think you double act, 
I call you this because you seem to alway be drinking doubles. 
I was always under the impression that a thing of beauty was there to look at. 
But just think if you two did that, you would save a load of money! 
Norman Ingram:
I think you double act,
Aye you may be right there, But if its worth looking at its worth having Eh, So Harry & I must have the best of both worlds Eh Ha Ha, The thing is with Malts one can look at it & drink it at the same time, Now isn’t that something, Regards Larry.
Larry I bet your wife don’t think what you look at you can have and enjoy 
It’s no good you lot on Old Lorries,moving my thread off first page, I made myself a promise to keep it going to I’m 99 then when I get the queen’s or king’s letter, I am going to buy Harry & Larry a large bottle of the best single malt advailable at that time! Lads you don’t think I am being too daring? 
Norman Ingram:
It’s no good you lot on Old Lorries,moving my thread off first page,
Keep on breathing Norm,and waking up in the mornings.
Cheers Dave.
I tell you lads, sometimes it’s quite difficult to breath when you have a cold virus and asthma, you have to get your puffers out quite often, but I’ll never give in!
Norman Ingram:
I tell you lads,
Been there Norm, three years ago I had double pneumonia and had 15 days on oxygen with a full mask on.
I don’t cough anymore. I will resist going down that route again with every trick in the book.
Tracy has asthma,but keeps it at bay with inhalers etc.
Cheers Dave.

Of course you are not being too daring, You are just being practible as far as I can see, If what you have planned works out It will be fantastic to say the least, Getting very old & having all this Whisky to look forward to, That’s bloody great man, Im sure old Harry will agree with me, & Certainley will look forward to litres of Highland Nectar, To drink with the real Malters Eh, I look forward to reaching that age in time , Regards Larry.

hiya,
With you all the way Larry just hope I’m still able to savour the Malts in later life,
but should I have any problems in that quarter the Missus used to be a nurse and
she might be able to fix me up with a drip so I don’t miss out on my daily ration
of the amber nectar.
thanks harry, long retired.
What could be better for you two rogues than to be swigging a bottle of 100% proof of single malt whisky on your 100 birthday.

Doing the same when we reach a 101 Norman, Ha Ha Regards Larry.
Don’t be greedy Larry, reach the ton first, then celebrate!
When on the middle east, whisky was a a valuable tool for a driver, always had a few bottles of Johnnie Walkers red or black label, used to get it for £2 a bottle at the borders. It smoothed the way, and opened doors in difficult situations.
What no whisky drinkers on this thread!

hiya,
Loads of us are a bit partial Norm, but the “brews” you mention are only little lads
whiskies, but are OK for medicinal purposes, but unfortunately I am unable at the
moment to enjoy the stuff due to a vast amount of prescription rubbish I’m having
to take, I have a very poor immune system and seem to catch everything that’s on
the go, It’s something to do with the chemotherapy course I had a while back, this
lot’s certainly knocked me for six, the doctors stuff hasn’t done much good so the
missus has popped down to the chemist to get me a bottle of something or other.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hope you soon feel OK again Harry, not nice when you feel unwell and can’t enjoy a drink and a few of life’s pleasant things.
Cheers Dave.
Harry wants a couple of pints of derv oil, it will clear his couple of cylinders out, then he will be reving up when a young lady passes by, he may give a toot or two. but it used to work wonders on a engine that was a bit sluggish, but you had to drain and wash through before putting normal engine oil.
Barton’s who was the bus firm who had lorries going to the middle east, was the reason I started this thread, they don’t trade anymore, I was on holiday in Bournemouth in October and met a ex bus driver who worked for them, and he told me they was taken over by another bus company, then they was taken over as well. It’s just the same in Northamponshire, we lost two good coach firms, Yorks, and Jeffrey’s when they was taken over by Bowen’s and they went bust. Big is not always the best.

hiya,
Norm is the bus side of Bartons still going ■■ I used to see them in the Notts
area and there seemed to be a lot of them, but that was a long time ago.
thanks harry, long retired.
Yes Harry, but who owns them now I liked the yellow buses of Bournemouth, we had two firms in Northampton " First", and Stagecoach, now we only have the latter.
