Hello Allan and Andrew, you may have noticed that I didnt put a name to the aforementioned party purposely because I was aware he sometimes looks at this page. Never mind, what do I care after he went out of his way,along with his mates, to make things as difficult as possible for us trying to run the shunting scheme, and which eventually caused it to fail. All water under the bridge now, lets just remember the good old times.
Best Wishes
Mike

Hi all,
Gentlemen,you are both correct.The Austin Allegro,a dreadful vehicle imo,more aerodynamic in reverse than any other gear! Well done? BL…

Hi all,
Congratulations to the England rugby team.A couple of oldies here,Personally I think the ergomatic was the most beautiful british lorry ever built…

[bewick]

Hiya Andrew, aye England won , just, but if there had been another 10 minutes play or so The Boyos would most probably have snatched a win !! That’s why I didn’t pile in last night with bragging rights !!! Cheers Dennis.

Ten minutes? Five would have done it; we just started our come-back a wee bit late. Good game though, with no controversial referree-ing. I must agree, well done England.

Hi all,
A few images from a wind farm project on Stormy Down.The actual turbine is best described as massive,made for a pretty impressive sight when the hauliers brought all the components together,seen in these first two shots,where they had to “Wrong side” the final part of the A48…
