They should be tried for treason , the only crime you can still be executed for.
Ironically looking at the photo it looks like itâs been shopped by someone who doesnât know the difference between a truck rear bogie v a car with independent rear suspension.
Thereâs no way that the rigid axle tubes and half shafts would allow that camber angle at the wheels.
Iâm surprised HSE didnât drag that driverâs mate off the platform for not wearing his cloth cap
Donât forget the harness too
Iâd say Seddon for the truck on the right, but what about the one in the middle of the street? Leyland? Bristol?
ThanksâŚ
Yeah Oily what a lovely pair of Bristols
Thanks very much, Oiltreader!
Those shopfronts with sun blinds down take me back, virtually every food shop had them in town back then & the butchers shop at the end of the block where youâd always see the meat carcasses being carried in on their shoulders by the guys wearing white blooded overalls.
yes indeed - and we wouldnât have called them guys either: they were blokes or chaps
Yes youâd be right, I always remember the butcher as he used to smoke cigs & he put it behind his ear still lit whilst chopping meat, he had a big round nicotine stain around his ear. Always plenty of offal cuts & Mam always bought cow hearts & liver there. Heart with sage & onion stuffing butties were a thing of beauty.
I did a butcherâs round on a trades bike for a bloke like that. To protect my clothes I bought a fawn-coloured mac from the Oxfam shop (which had just been invented) and by the time Iâd delivered dozens of packages of liver and meat on a drip-tray I used to arrive back at the shop looking like Dr Crippin!
And getting called a âgay young bladeâ was seen as a compliment.
Thatâs a bit cavalier
Itâs got Vauxhall to do with you what I get up to in my private life
and a âgay gaddaboutâ was a mobile one!
Nice one buzzer --my home town ! .
