Now there’s a memory jogger,ERF trailers ! IIRC a Milnthorpe based owner driver’s(John E. Ion) garage in the middle of the village was only long enough to accept his first LV ERF unit and trailer if the trailer was only 31ft 6" long,it had been OK for his previous AEC Mustang and his ERF 8 wheeler.He used to pull right in and touch the far wall with the bumper of the unit.Now not 100% certain after all these years but I believe the short trailer was an ERF built one.When he finally had to go to 40ft he was knackered and he asked if he could drop his new CF trailer in our depot,which he did but moaned like ■■■■ at the £20 a month I charged him for the priviledge ! He was a greedy ■■■■ by the way as one of his tricks was if we were say staying at that cafe where the A5 goes under the M1 at Markyate and the grub was manky anyway,Big John would wolf his down then sit watching what any of us left (which was usually plenty) then he would polish off what we had left !! We only stopped there periodically because you could get a knock at any time if we had a 6 am tip at Dickinsons Hemel Hempstead etc.Cheers Bewick.
