Just wondering what vehicles you passed your test in, what year and your first job after passing, mine was a ford d series plus thirty foot single axle trailer, and then BRS tunstall 1978,my first job was to hitch a lift to Oxford BRS, pick up a Seddon tractor unit and a forty foot van and return to stoke ,things were going well till a mechanic popped his head out of the garage in Oxford and shouted dont stall it , its got no starter motor good luck!Hiya… was that Ford Graham machin from brown edge or ball green area…i think his training name was norton school of motoring.
he ended up at bassetts in the 90’s on the training side.
