On to weighbridge hop out into the man, " How do drive" “not so bad” “good run up” “R nothing much about”, Scale needle to,ing n fro,ing comes to a halt 29t !.The man starts writing ticket, “hold up I come up with 30t” “well you,re 29t now” “hows that ?” “funny things happen out on the road you know” “well yes they do, but losing a ton of scrap ain,t one of em” looked down by chance, " your foots on weighbridge brake !" “bludy hell your right” foot off 30t"
Did another dozen or so loads weight always spot on. To the plot, I seem to think it were a scrap yard called Hudsons ? Def black country, red lorries or poss black with red trims. Anybody know it or is my memory going skew whiff ?
Hudson’s of Dudley,Canal Street, Brierley Hill, more or less next door to Round Oak steel works
