Gentlemen this debate [as such] would read as far as my comments are concerned as if i was back then a [red, commie, socialist,]to be honest further from the truth in actual fact in 1963 i was actually in commie china ,up the yangste river their you did see what a one state commie country looked like and no way would,you ,me want to live like they did,you never fogot it.
So as a driver later on i was no way WAS I a red,or agitator,or strong union man because [i knew] they ,the union reds,hot heads, had no idea what communism was really like however i belived in a way of work THAT we were all equal,come to work do your shift then either go to digs or home, start at 8am finish before 6pm DAY WORK OR NIGHTS THEY WERE THE SAME, no rush for meeting dead lines Trunking was in before all theses HUBSsame differance,it got there when you did so long as you did not take the ■■■■, loss of lorry earnings ,diesel,miles to the gallon ,nothing the way we worked equated to GREED IT WAS LIKE THE RAILWAY A WAY OF LIFE…AS THE YANKS SUPPOSEDLY SAY if it ant broke dont fixit.
If you were never within the BRS don’t knock it becuase you will never know,it was the best apprentice ship you could have…dbp
