Do you know this chapâ â ?.I was always having nights out at West brom truck stop. There was alot of South Wales drivers on their and as you know
you welsh lads get on pritty well with people.This chap i used to get on really well with was named Malcom. He drove a puke green FL10 canânt remember the company (â â ?LINE)he then started on Owens with a Foden.I think he left Owens and started a Taxi outfit at Gorseinon. Just thought he took the manageress from the truckstop with him.
