Joe 90 from Hull?

Grimsby accent, bloody wars have been fought over less

The thread has been restarted with a Redcliffe motor but this post is over a year old.

Joe (90) Newsome was from t'other side of river. I remember going to see John Hebb who had the Volvo dealers in Wooton near Ulceby. I was looking to buy another lorry and John and I sat for about 3 hours chatting about lorries and drivers. He told me all about Joe 90. I have since met him, and old John Hebb had a lot of time for him and me as it happens. The son Jack Hebb was a pompous prick though and I never did buy a Volvo from him, so stuck to my DAFs.

On Knights of Old, I often met up with Dennis, when doing trips to the middle east, him and his brother Donald used to go, but Donald never liked it, so he would take full trailers to europort, drop them and take the trailers back his brother used to bring back from M/E and turn around and go home, Dennis used to turn back from port with new load to M/E. Sorry news Donald shot his wife and dog then himself, it was in our local paper, it was stated that he was suffering from depression, and was the carer for his wife. he was 78 years old, a year older than me.

Here are some pics of the Middle East and locations unknown from when my Dad used to run to Saudi with Redcliffe Roadways. Not sure of the dates but maybe in the 70's

I have just noticed that it looks like the back of a Promotors Scania on this photo..



And there is a Jenkinson D.A.F. in the background on this one.
