Yes i agree “Kempston” Paul Gee is always telling me that such and such has bought someone out.He keeps up with the
modern goings on where as i dont. Thanks for the info,that incinerator is at Marchwood i think and thanks for the pic.

The son of Bullies is operating waste recycling companies in the same colours down in Fareham & Farnborough,

Thanks for that info Dave. I wondered why Paul had sent me this pic.

Anyone know where the Grant’s DAF is from ■■

Freightroute have a depot in Irthlingborough just off the A45 near where Rushden and Diamonds football ground was. They also have a depot I believe in Poole? Grants bought out Aileys transport from the northants area, so given its pulling a FreightRoute trailer I would guess it’s from somewhere around the northants area, I also think I can remember them doing a lot of work for Weetabix at Burton Latimer near the A14.

Thanks for the info Kempston. I dont know if they have a depot in Poole although i have not seen one.

Hi Dean, You have been a busy lad again…From memory, I think that the Grants ERF is from the Northampton area, I could be wrong.

Cheers, Ray.

You know how it is Ray.

I remember when I worked for a BMC dealership replacing some pistons on a HA van belonging to Hond and Langar, the local glaziers. It involved removing the front axle to gain access to the sump and I was laying underneath torquing the big ends up when the wrench slipped and my hand travelled along the crankshaft, removing two fingernails in the process. It hurt!

Pete.

Thats sound’s bloody painful Pete,nasty chap i bet the old fingers were throbbing a bit !
