Here’s a couple more from my collection Larry. The Daf was mine, the trailer belonged to Econofreight who we often worked for,the load isn’t ringing a bell as it doesn’t look like a machined counterweight, (more like a steelworks slab). Woolyback might have more info on that. Regards Kev.

Anyone like to see the Tuxedo Royale back on Tyneside?

I delivered beer to The Boat a couple of times when I was subbied into Carlsberg Tetley for Cestria Distribution,it was a right dump when you got to see it in the daylight a proper dingy,dirty feet sticking to the carpets sort of place. Tetley’s always sent the subbies or agency lads there when they got cocked the deliveries up cos if the tide had gone out you had to carry it all through the boat,getting grief off the manager cos his delivery wasn’t there before 10am like it was supposed to be.
