Long Departed Southampton Hauliers

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Hi all, just to let you know that my brother Albert Stratton passed away on Tuesday morning 25/06/ 2019. Many of you may have worked for him and many have said that he was a good boss, including Fergie 47. R.I.P. Albert.

Nobby, sorry to hear about Albert, did he have a long illness?
I never actually worked for him, but I knew many that did, that all seems a long time ago now. My condolences to you and Alberts family .

Sorry Fergie47 its just age and addled brain. Of course you didn,t drive for Albert, I was getting you mixed up with 'Old Trucker' (Richard) who lived in Domfront, Normandie. Albert put him through his class 1 back in the day and he told me he was eternally grateful. Hope both you and Liz are keeping well.

The Menin gate in Ypres is very thought provoking, but also standing in a small cemetary before a headstone with the name of a relative you didn't know you had engraved on it.

Not me on youtube I did try to video the last post on my phone but when I held it up I must have pressed Selfie mode so I filmed a Big Hairy Biker in Hi Viz behind me instead, We also took Mum & Dad there once & they were taken right up to the buglers & I filmed that on my big camera but forgot to press sound button So I'm No Steven Spielberg in the making I'm afraid.

In that case then, if I make it back there sometime I'll do it and post it. But it will have to be my camcorder as I don't have a smartphone, but the rear screen on that has failed so I can't see what I am pointing at. :roll:

I don't know if you picked up on my comment Tony , we've never met but I have gone through the lung cancer thing , 60% lung removed and a month radiotherapy . I did everything they told me and it has turned out well so far . I'm in remission now and sincerely hope you can have as good a result . I know you have more problems than mine , but keep your chin up and keep fighting . Best wishes and kind regards , Dave .

Tony. I have just said goodbye to the First Responders. They were called

in response to my having a bad turn having read the article re me having to

get the beers in at the August Bash. I'm fully recovered now but please don't

do that again. As you well know I'm an old pensioner who is down on his luck.

I've only just got over the scam that was done to me when Richard Duke of Wellow

and myself visited you in hospital. On the way back to his mansion he suggested

that we stop off at a pub and drink lots of beer and stuff ourselves with food.

When we finished he got up and said just going to the loo. See you in the car.

I frantically searched my pockets for cash and then what happened? Yes I found

his DKV card. Happy days! I also gave the waitress a £20 tip. Sorry to go on but

the drugs are starting to kick in.

Just a quick message to Gerbil. I walked round by the old brewery today.

What a sad looking place. Trees growing out of the cracks in the concrete. Windows

smashed etc. Shame.Regards to all. Charlie :lol: :lol:

Hi Dave, many thanks for the encouragement mate, and well done for doing so well.
It's difficult as you know, but bring it on i say and fingers crossed..
It helps of course with so much support from family and friends, it seems that i've finally conquered the 1st and largest tumour....Next appointment is on the 15th to see what the next step is, so watch this space.
Almost there..

Hi Spardo,
I was there last year and videoed the last post - very moving. I've uploaded the video of the last post and a few pictures from the Menin Gate, Ypres. Click on the following link- https://photos.app.goo.gl/mLfuAvpfzqfUwpgi6 My son filmed the occasion from my shoulders with my phone. I'm to blame for any shaking.

Hi all, Charlie glad to hear your still getting about but not sure of the company you have been keeping lately. But the brewery i haven't been there for a while but i thought it had been decided to build flat's and house's on the old site. All being well god willing and wind in the right direction will see you at Mr Shepard's establishment in August. I thought it was very good of you to say you would get a round in for everyone that attends or did i not hear right. 8)

Hi Kev,

Hope you and Jan are ok, please do not take pity on Charlieone the only reason he came down my neck of the woods was because his Italian driving machine had a problem,I thought he was taking it to the Ferrari dealer down the road, but no he brought it to our workshop, to try and get it done on the cheap which we did, and extracted the urine by paying with my DKV Card !! After we had been to see dear old Tony,really pleased to see the progress he has made,Charlie was off on a weeks holiday to an exotic island,having said that when he booked it with his bad eyesight he thought it said Erotic Island :oops: so don't let his pleas of poverty get to you, what is worse 3 of our old drivers live on this Island,so he probably caught them for a quid or two as well.

Here are a couple of pics, who is that young lad on the right ?

Regards
Richard

Looks like the late Jock Walker used to work with him at British International
a nice guy. Talking to him one day turned out his wife was a teacher at my school.
This is one of the trucks he had at BI . Regards Kev
