No but there used to be some very helpful users if you shouted up “1 9 for directions in wherever.”
These were often housebound people, the less able, retired drivers, etc. who had excellent local knowledge and would patiently talk you into wherever you needed to be almost lamp post by lamp post.
If only we’d had the benefit of the internet in those days, could have had online lists of willing direction givers town by town.
I can remember my dad got one in his 111(super swede as it was called on the CB then), that was 30 years ago and I am almost embarrased to say that I called myself…Bandit
those were the days. My dad used his truck like his personal car at the weekends, took it to the local working mens club when he finished on a saturday, picked his wife(2nd one) up from shopping. Can’t see that happening these days eh? A mate of mine was called ‘sharpshooter’, when he signed off he always said(corny I know but) Flash your lights & sound your hooter you’ve just copied sharpshooter’ always thought that was a cool way of signing off.
Mine was crusader. And my wifes was primrose.
my dad used to be roadrunner.
Bondi Tram - same as is written down below.
There was a saying in Sydney when I was there ‘going like a Bondi Tram’, which meant a lot of noise and not much speed and I’d had a lot of wagons like that.
Carried it with me when I first registered here but it got lost in a techo foulup which nobody could fathom, so I had to re-register.

hiya…there was a woman in Peterbourough called red brandy in the mid 80’s i’ve heard her routing 6 or 7 trucks at a time… she seemed to know how long it would take you between two points… she’d tell you to go along a road to a roundabout then disapear talking to another driver and the chirp in turn let at the roundabout just as you got there… she was brilliant
