What a tanker…
I guess underneath that is an REO speedwagon?
You’re probably right about the chassis. This thing is so ugly it’s cute. It’s also right hand drive, so that pretty much narrows it down to Britain, South Africa or Australia/New Zealand. Those buildings have a very British look to them - was it operated here? I don’t recognise the name of the company on the side, but maybe somebody out there knows more…
…Just looked on biglorryblog and discovered that this is indeed a 1938 REO 3-ton chassis, fitted with a 1075 gallon tank and streamlined bodywork for the Vacuum oil company (now Mobil), and lettered for their “Plume” brand in Australia. All of the major regional cities had one in their allocation, and they worked for ten years until replaced by larger capacity motors in 1948. Wouldn’t you just like to roll up at Gaydon in it this year?

One of the oldest buildings in the village is the Barley Mow pub, which was one of the last premises in the country to accept decimalization, as the 87 year old landlady, Mrs Lillian Ford did not hold with the new money. The parish previously housed at least five other public houses; The Wheatsheaf, The Bull’s Head, The Angel, The Windmill and The Gate.

Well worth a visit
Have you been in here yet,the Plough, Diseworth? My Auntie and Uncle used to run it in the 40s and 50s.
It had a thatched roof when I stayed there.

Not been yet Chris but we will go and take a few photos for you. We use the Falcon in Long Whatton occasionally!
what do you know , the first mention of buying the beer and mr webb is pleading poverty ! night out money gone indeed ! that was wisely invested i bet , and still producing a good return . it is more likely due to being a yorkshireman [ a scotsman with the generosity removed ] . you can take the man out of sheffield , but you can’t take sheffield out of the man ! , peak district rules !!!

Well,I knew a feller from Bakewell who went next door to gas himself,and a bloke from Tidser who didn’t know t’difference between sh** and putty and his windows fell out.
Times is hard out here…

Hi Dave.They haven’t lowered the tax allowance for us,me and the wife are allowed £18,600 before tax and 10% over that.Please don’t worry about me,I’ll keep soldiering on like you in Buxton.
Tynwald is top heavy,just like the UK Parliament,savings should start there,but we’ll see…
Aye,Johnnie Trotter would like to wield the whip for a whip round for me but he wouldn’t come over here with the takings,I’d have to go and fetch 'em and then buy his beer as well.Can’t be rayt. 
bloody hell chris , you are well off , i shall have to consider emigrating to douglas ! i get allowed £9400 and 20% tax after that . the barstewards take £7 a week off us , so all my pension increase is taxed at 20% . you are definitely getting the ale in !! , cheers , dave
