The working week of a Trailer Mate in the 60's

Hiya “small coal”, now that shot has been taken many years after me and my mate Eric digged there ! But we used to reverse the Octopus and trailer down to the left of the shot on a short bit of dead end road. Which reminds me of a funny story as one night we were sat in the café later on having a brew when two plain Bobbies came in and asked if the Brady driver could pull forward and let them out with their car ! They’d been parked further down the lane on “obbo” ! My mate Eric said “I’m booked off sorry” ! :wink: :laughing: :laughing: He threw me the keys and said “Go and let them out mate, who ever they were after will be long gone” :frowning: ! Those detectives were ■■■■■■■ embarrassed I can tell you and the other lads sat in with us were in hysterics ! So I went out and shunted forward 20 ft and they shot out like “blue arsed flies”. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Cheers Bewick.
