I’m very well thanks, Larry, considering all the cr*p I’m having to endure with regard to this stupid Macclesfield Breakfast Club where every driver and former driver seems to want to invade East Cheshire to fill his belly on my state pension, then they demand travelling expenses from all parts of the world for the privilege of attending. If you ask me, most of them must have worked for the Red & Rust at some point- they certainly know how to claim dodgy money.
I’m sure you must enjoy far more gentlemanly behaviour in your part of the country?

Ey Rof send me your number a 3rd time I’ve lost it again ,one day your going to eat your words for breakfast as well as the breakfast that I may possibly buy you !

Dan, You have my number give me a bell when ROF’s got that gold card out!

There’s little chance of that, Pete- my father was Welsh! He spent most of his life teaching Scotsmen and Yorkshiremen how to be “careful” with money!

1960s our night out money was £1,12s, 6d, digs with an evening meal, bedtime snack and breakfast also couple of pints of an evening(1/3 a pt) and for the record I’ve been in company with guys who always seem to have half a pint left when it came to their turn and they wer’nae the Jocks, but to be fair some of them may have been under the pressure of a petticoat government domestically :laughing:

Bit late, but congratulations with reaching the 500 mark Oily! May it run for another 500 pages :wink:

Now, how about this one, does anyone recognise the reg.number on the Foden?

Cheers, Patrick

WH for Wolverhampton :smiley: . One thing the German army was very good at was utilising captured enemy vehicles as well as having a well organised recovery and repair of their own equipments, very good photo though wonder what they thought of the Foden! Franky.
