The real Basher
Drove my brains out put the kids through good schools and univercity bought a small farm in the west of Ireland. Kicck back and watch the grass grow.
Good luck. Basher.

Sorry about the spelling this key board is not in forest mind. good luck

hiya basher, it’s good to hear your still around and well, i often wondered what had happened to you after you left peters, mudworm did tell me you were working for an irish firm but did’nt say who it was, did’nt know you had settled out their though are you in the south or the north ? and are you still driving or have you retired from that game now i aint still like playing with the big toys but at 58 taking life a little easier now on container traffic hence the reply to you , as i write this reply am in manchester on a 4 hour tip plus you get a chance to catch up on some of that sleep P G stole from me all those years ago. well nice to see yur still around Basher hope to speak wiv you again soon. Maggott.

Down south Maggot in south Kerry sheep farming. When I get the urge to drive a lorry I do a bit of relief on the fridges to the continant but not too often.

morning all re peter gilder drivers some of you might regonise my name but he had a hellof a lot of drivers go through his doors everyone forgot mick cook who was his first full time driver then maggot jock davidson carl makey percy harris angus maxwell spud myself (muddy) nick whale aka rodders we all done time for him was hard life but a great crack and when things got bent there was always phil hutton the doc or steve in the workshops always there to straighten it all out again

Got to get on nights coming you have all heard that on PG,s. I done a load to europe with the crowd from Braintree. Cant remember where. Hows the form Mud.

Hmmmmmm, If the devil cast his net on here,hed certainly get a netful :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: The one thing about P.G he pops up in the most unexpected places, I worked in South Africa for a bit, and was in bar with a friend, she introduced me to her brother, he started rabbitting on about trucks in U.K and a bloke he was trying to contact, couldnt get to him etc etc, and that man was P.G, so I rang him there and then, got me some good good brownie points with my friend :smiley:

Few weeks ago, I was driving a machine on a site in Palmerston North, got talking to a brickie from Manchester, usual chat where u from etc etc, he said his mate was from Glos so had a chat to him and turned out he drove for P.G in the eighties too, I se him about town now and again,and will get his name, I think he`s from Winchcombe, the posh end of Glos,some of you real oldies mite know him

Does anyone know what Angus is or was doing. He used to come in my pub in Chipping Norton in the 90’s as he had friends there.
I was on M/E work in the 70’s so it was nice to have a chat with him.

Last I heard Angus was working for Mathews(bv),away 6 weeks at a time.I presume hes still living up north. I hadnt seen him for yrs and Iwas talking to a bloke on boat one day, on about Gilders etc and he said bloke used to work with him worked for Gilders, his name was Gus,didnt register, and I said öh a few have worked for him and a few more have said they have, anyway after about a hour on the coffee talking suddenly I realised,Gus -Angus, it couldnt be, anyway it was, wouldnt give me Angus No, so gave him mine, and within a day he rang me, and we met up in Spain, then again back in U.K. Last I heard he parked up in PGs yard to got to a wedding in B-o-W.
I have tried to txt him on the No I got but no reply,I expect he`s ok,he is a survivor :smiley:

john.d.m

thanks for that info, the old chap that Angus used to visit in Chippy died a good few years back so I guess he had no reason to come back.
But good to know he’s still clocking a few miles up.
Rather him than me.
Rather anybody but me, the way things are on the road these days.
Take care and thanks again
