Hi Dave That FL looks tidy. Not many of them left now. They used to be everywhere.

Cheers Dave.

Hi Dave Heres a couple of pics from Welshpool festival of transport mid 1990s Tony Pugh transport Bayston Hill
Hi jonmea,
Nice pics,the Bayston Hill operators such as Toony Pugh,Kev Castle and others all run smart trucks,especially before they went white.
Cheers Dave.

Cheers Dave.

Hi Dennis,
I like dogs,not frightened of them,where I worked until a couple of years ago they had a couple of Rottweilers,. I used to get out of my van tell them to eff off and head straight for them they just used to slink off.Where I was taking the pic yesterday was waiting to get on the wash,reversed back to the muddy bit,to get the pic of the ERF,also the bloke that owns the unit next to the ERF,the wash bay has two Dobermans,not frightened of them either. I wouldn’t taste very nice.
Cheers Dave.

Had a number of guard dogs over the years at the depot but the last one was "The Daddy " ! RottyX Alsatian and believe me he hated every body except me ( I knocked him unconcious to boss him when he first came )! but after that he would go through a brick wall for me ! He once got out of his compound ( my fault ) and terrorised the depot looking for me and by the time they called me out of the office he had 6 drivers in one motor on the pumps and the fitters were locked in the stores ! unfortunatley he collored one of the drivers who couldn’t get away quick enough ! he got him by the a***e and shook him like a rag There was 4 massive fang holes in his buttocks ! I took him to the Vets for a tetnus shot !!!(the dog ) Seriously he was one of our good drivers I wouldn’t have bothered if he had bit the driver that raised the alarm as he wanted a good towselling !! I could drive into the yard in the early hours of the morning on my way backhome from down the way and pull up against his pen let him out and wander around the depot and workshops I never did catch any more ■■■■■■ while I had that fella .
