Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

gerbil sb152:
Hi all, and another one what was the name of the square in Milan where we used to park with the two restaurants one was as always the Dutchman’s, it was also where Italmondo warehouse was where we used to load week in week out for STS. :sunglasses:

Kev think it was called “The Piatza” , remember being there once when some Dutch drivers caught an Iti breaking into a cab and they had captured him, then they went looking for a rope which Brit drivers often carried to pull up the tilt sheets to load, they were going to take him up on a bridge tie the rope round his neck and chuck him over but the cops turned up and spoiled the fun.
Also John Shaw aka “The M4 fitter” who drove for Pat helped a bloke take out his gearbox to fit a new clutch, now that would not happen today eh, chairs Buzzer.
