Is this crowd a bygone yet? They used to run a few out of Cliffe Hill , Bisons,then had a couple of F86 6whlrs , possibly the first of the foreign lorries to use the quarry.
Meynells still going strong! i’ve done few shifts for them,10 or so years ago.decent outfit to work for.
They used to be called MPH…back in the day
Remember when they had Bisons out of ARC Groby, I only did one load out of there bit of an odd set up in there.
Taken at their yard in Ibstock, couple of nice motors in the background !

Yes, and a very good Speedway rider (the ‘man in the spotless white shirt’) as well. He also kept the Post Office in Wymeswold.

Don’t remember, but I probably met him then. I used to be a regular in the Windmill pub, as a member of their petanque team. The landlord, Joe was Maltese. Next door to the pub was a retired couple, he dabbled in the stockmarket, as did I at the time, and I recommended him to Asda when it was down in the dumps. I didn’t back them, but he did, before the price went sky high. He thought I was a real expert after that. If I had been, I would have backed them myself. 
Here is one older than me

Proper motor Wayne, I wonder if she’d have been Breedon red
They had a large fleet of green Leyland comets mainly flatbeds in the 1960 s never liked them their drivers wouldn’t give me a lift when I thumbed it from coalville to ashby on my journey to school.
