Another ERF with a Perkins 325 engine,seen at Aberystwyth fair.


One of Studfs Foden’s pushing a dolly out of the way while setting up Aberystwyth fair.

hiya,
Dave been over the North West for a couple of days visiting my brother, on the outward trip on Friday just South of Durham City pulled into the overtaking lane to allow one of Jones’s of Ruthin coming down the slipropad to join the A1M noticed it was fully laden with “in your words” Go Go girls, I just thought to myself there goes another load of new talent for your part of the world.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
Thought we hadn’t seen many posts from you over the weekend.Hope you had a good couple of days. L E Jones used to have a big fleet,don’t think they have many now.I did hear that the boss of it was quite poorly.They are up North Wales as you know,used to see their artics running the A49 quite a bit,but haven’t seen any of theirs for a while now.
Plenty of " GO GO GIRLS " shipped out from the local livestock markets at Knighton and Kington.I think a lot of them go to slaughter houses to supply the Kebab places.When the rioting was on a few months back,the trade dropped right off apparently.
Cheers Dave.
