Many years running with John Mann’s drivers when I worked for G&S international, Saturday night on the Pride of Bilbao out of Portsmouth, usually quite a few of their lads on it and ran down through Spain with them.
There was some great characters on that firm, never did North Africa myself but used to see them down at Algeciras, we loaded a lot round that area as we had a yard at Chipiona just south of Seville.
Thought that the Morocco work had dried up but I hear that one or two guys are still running down there from the UK.
Is there any money in it nowadays? Very much doubt it.
