Does anyone remember loading lampshades out of a company called torrentriba?? Used to be in Cornella. And had a mental guard dog on a chain. Think it was called “rocky”
I can remember loading glass shades out of a company called Decrystal for Poole Lighting ,but think the town was called Pollinia north of Barcelona

Ian Penny was the first to drive this one for Phill then Dave and after him Andy Hansford.I was told today that Dave Ketteringham Had MPO and not BMB and I was told by Alan Kidman whose photo it was.

Cherbourg,homeward bound on the Barfleur.
It wasn’t always so inviting a sight when the weather was bad Dean.Thanks again for the pics regards Geoff
Geoff
Want to bad on the barfleur but the Coutances/Purbeck was a different story,but I was lucky and
the rough crossing did not really effect me !
Robert will be happy with those ERF pics when he sees them !
