J&R Adams Newcastle .

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

Of course IMOO, Jackey Adams allways ran the best of gear, I first new the Adams in the 50s when old Jakey & Young Jimmy was in the hot seat, I was working for Baxters Road Services on the Newcastle Quayside who were hauling local & long distance stuff from Denmark, The Denmark stuff was landed at 17 shed , Baled Danish Bacon, Plus casks of Danish Lurpak Butter.Along with Tuborg Lager, Canned Mussels Etc, There was plenty of work in those good old days, It was all hand ball but the wages were decent for driving, & If one wanted to work over the hours allowed, One could make good few some extra £s. In the old Sky Rocket, Happy Happy Days.Regards Larry.
