Don’t know if has been brought up before on this thread but did any body every stop at PHIL’S at brienne on the D795 what was used to cut the corner off Macon.
I seem to think he was an ex owner driver from Birmingham who used to sub for mezzario and sold his truck to buy the routiers with his wife.
A lot of subbies who worked for mezzario used to stop ther for the weekend ether on the way to Italy or on route back to the uk.
I remember stopping there one hot weekend and Phil taken us back up the road to the river at cuisery were we spent the afternoon larking about swimming and fishing.
It would be nice to know what happened to Phil and his family I would say its closed now like many good routiers in France due to most nationals been weight limited.

24

Yeah I stopped there a few times, not a bad Sunday Dinner, I thought he (Phil) worked on Felgates :question:

25

Hi i used to stop at phils place on my down to Italy for a meal,sometimes stay over for the weekend if i was doing a trailer change,Yeah was’nt bad,other than his bloddy car park,getting covered in thick mud and needing a tow out.I remember his sister -in -law,Jan i think that was her name she was always there…

Does anyone remember…

A Brit outfit had been impounded for having a huge trailer belly tank of red & was parked in a compound near (■■?) the peage.
So a plan was hatched over a few bottles (each) in the Bakehouse that Saturday night to raid the compond on the Sunday morning and pump all the red into our units to remove the evidence. :laughing:

As far as I can remember there was about 10 of us & it went off without a hitch.

Hullo Bob,
Thanks a lot mate, I knew that I knew him, just the old memory is a bit wonky now days. Now if he’d had a bit of Plastic poking out of his top pocket, I’de have remembered straight away. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
