Two great pictures Steve, particularly the first one. The bus is Salford Corporation, but the Foden lorry caught my eye.
I could see that it has a Sheffield number plate, and I managed to see that it had " Jubilee Stout " on the side of the cab.
It made me think, how many Trucknet members could remember Jubilee Stout, It was similar to Guinness and Mackeson
stout , but much smoother. It being brewed in Sheffield, I was wondering whether it was available throughout the UK,
or was it mainly sold and supped in the North of England. Cheers, Ray.
96 Salford bus from Whitefield to East Didsbury. Used it quite a few times. Jubilee stout I would think would have been Hope and Anchor Breweries Sheffield. Picture may be Stockport road Longsight, near to Slade lane junction, but not sure. I remember Jubilee stout very well, Used to deliver it round the Greater Manchester area and a bit beyond when I worked for a Wines, spirits and beer merchant.

Hi Ray,how are you?
Aye Hope and Anchor brewery were on Claywheels Lane Sheffield,taken over by Bass Charrington.You could get Jubilee Stout in some London area pubs,being a Sheffielder I used to shove one into that London crap beer to liven it up.

That A40 Ferrarri as we used to call 'em is a long way from home with it’s Sussex plate. I’m surprised it made it that far.

Hi Ramone I would say its mostly genuine I have friends who go away regularly each year during our winter months and spend up to 4 months prospecting, the licensing laws re where you search are very strict prospecting on some one else’s lease without permission is a definite no no.
One of the main incentives is moneys generated from gold found is tax free.
