Hi Geoff,
Remember shipping Truckline from Poole, Ian Rycroft (R.I.P.) always seemed to be there on the quay asking where you were going and for who 
Shipped out to Rome from there in a Magirus 232 via the Vent. (Non Quota 
) took forever to get there with Mel from Ridgers thought we’d never get there 
One of Buzzer’s Mary Hopkins moments.
What was the name of the guy who drove the Swains French reg. Scania? really nice bloke.
In later years when I ran 30 trucks John Clark the Freight guy looked after me like a father 
I think he’s retired now, another diamond geezer.
Regards
Richard
