Im
glad some of you remember Barrie williams Llanelli. I worked on the spanners and drove for barrie for about 10 years on and off. He put me through my class one in 1982. I passed first time and was rewarded with a daycab leyland marathon , with a 250 ■■■■■■■ and fuller box 8 speed splitter box i think. Ipiloted that for about 3 yrs tramping the uk. " god i could tell you some stories" some of the best trucking years of my life.

hi all,
that caerphilly beer is taking a while to go
Hi all, iirc Glamorgan Upholstry was a spin off from Christie Tyler or one of the many upholstery outfits operating in the 80’s.
A couple of ex managers got together and set up shop.
Looks as if everyone had a good night in Caerphilly, any more pic’s?
Regards Paul.
