In the early '60’s there was a Robson driver called Sandy Shanks a native of Larkhall,Lanarkshire, who lived behind a fruit and veg shop in Wildman St. Kendal,he was a Scotsman probably in his late 50’s early 60’s at the time,and he liked a pint/dram or two or three.Anyway,he drove a Trader 4 wheeler for Robsons and his main job was delivering to Liverpool docks,he was a renowned pub singer and apparently was known in every boozer the length of the Dock road and was a “star” turn at lunch time sessions !! This “stardom” translated into Sandy’s ability to circumnavigate any “hold up” and get tipped against all the odds,regardless of the length of the queue !!However,for reasons which can be guessed,Sandy lost his job at Robsons eventually but got a job with a Kendal firm,C & J ■■■■■■■■ as their spare driver.But this job came to dramatic end one day when Sandy had been returning from Carlisle in a Commer 2 stroke and had called in for “refreshment” at the popular drivers “watering” hole of Stonebeck Inn on the the then main A6 road just north of Penrith.Anyway,later on that day when he had set off to Kendal Sandy was stopped by the Law when he was “clocked” flying through Shap village waving a bottle out of the window singing his head off.He got locked up for the night in the cell at Shap 'Nick" and this was well before the breathalyser came into force!,this brought a final end to his driving career and I believe he went back to Larkhall for the remainder of his life,but he was a true character within the,then,transport world.His loads were always immaculately sheeted and he kept his motor tidy,but his taste for the Amber nectar finally did for him. Cheers Bewick.
