Fergie47,
Always used to stay in that hotel over the border on the left myself, especially on a cold winters night, really nice people I think Mama was the boss always had a soft spot for the drivers, they had a daughter or niece who was totally in love with a friend of ours who is no longer with us, so I wont mention any names but the girls name I think was Frieda, this was back in the late 60’s, and as Harry say’s lovely people the Swiss once they got to know you. Happy days.Ossie
Small world Ossie eh,…A few hundred metres befor the border, there use to be some parking space by a church with a huge tower, only problem was, it struck every hour…day and night…didn’t park there unless l really had too ! Do you remember that place ?
Hello Fergie, Didn’t work for Lloyds of Ludlow by any chance ■■ if so I remember you!
worked in Switzerland myself and made some good friends there, so I endorse everything said by Harry and Ossie.
The church you mention was on the St. Louis side and used to be the old parking place before they opened the Bachgraben, my your going back a bit early '70’s as I remember. Used to have to park there and then walk up to the border and get a Laufzettel or similar it was TIR Carnets back then before T. Forms. The owner of the restaurant Zollstuebli was called Tilly and yes Frieda worked there (but she was Yugoslav I think) nice people I think Tilly came for a trip to England once with one of the regular drivers. Happy days…
