Just asked my dad for some memorys from his early days tipper driving in the late 70s the first one was it was about 6 months before he went to a tip as any back road or bit of wasteground was fair game to lose a load of muck

The best bit was the call from the “Borough Council” can you clear some flytip for us? double bubble :laughing: :laughing:
