Hiya Vic, I always thought it was taken from the bull**** written out by some berk in Brussels and is the three key words in the document title, i.e, Agreement, Dangerous, Road. However I am often proved wrong!!! Regards, Mizzo.
Yeah Les,i think your about right,if not some one is sure to put us right.P.S. queer do with Petroplus eh.Vic
When i worked on petroplus at grangemouth we had about 6…7 artics + 4…5 six wheelers all petroplus livered. last year we were down to 1 artic. its a pity they went bust because it was a good job on p/plus. this is one of the last loads i did for them tipping at stirling.
By the look of the still painted exhaust she not been on the road long. I remember when I used to go to Buncefield with Dad, while he was loading I had to go & sit in the drivers room & wait, which never bothered me at all cos the Mobil rest-room looked out on the main access road to all the Terminals up there, as Mobil was the first on the left as you turned up the road you could see every tanker from every company as they turned in or were slowing down for the T-junction, night & day they were up & down, I could have sat there for weeks drinking tea & watching 
. Chevron & fina were opposite Mobil, Dad reckoned they could never say no to a salesman, cos they seemed to run 1 of evereything out of there, Leylands, Fodens, DAFs, I remember a Volvo F88 & a Berliet too, the last 2 being very rare on the Oil company fleets, although ELF did run a few Berliets later on too.
Regards Chris

There you are. I must admit, I had a card for many years but I’d no idea what ADR meant.
Yeah,it was just the A i did’nt understand,i presume it stands for agreement.Thanks Vic.
Polished aluminium tanks weren’t as common back then I don’t think!

Hi Chris, I bow to your superior knowledge on the reg, plate, could be H.W. or S & R, don’t know which one had most wagons on for Shell back then, both were big enough to be trusted with such an important load!
Regards Chris
