Sadley the load of Linseed Flake was usually for the dreaded, Ranks in Gateshead, Its one of the worst tipping points that I have ever delivered to in driving days I wont go into detail but their workers were some of the Laziest [zb] that I ever had dealings apart from Liverpool Dockers.

Was that Baltic Mills, Larry? I think it was there where the exit was a sharp right turn up a steep slope and, with my LAD Dodge with batteries rear of cab on the chassis, the front wheels started up the slope and the corner of the trailer smashed one of the batteries.I drove it all the way home to Nottingham keeping the engine going and revving up at traffic lights to keep myself illuminated.
