Good evening gentlemen.
Here is a reply to the postings. Firstly in reply to Mr Ian Hellawell.I have ignored
the foolscap sheet he gave me to write from.He picked me up from the end of my road on Sat morning and
away we went.The first thing he asked me was “Have you brought your wallet? I seem to have mislaid mine”
Then while we were loading he drank three cups of coffee from my flask and ate eleven digestive biscuits.
Also as you can see from the photo I had to do some physical work sweeping and shovelling.Then to crown
it all he chucked me out at the grain terminal saying " Wait here for Gazzer,Iv,e got anther ten loads to do before
dark" What a differance.A real gentleman.He made me a cup of coffee.Helped me into the cab.Put a rug around
my knees and drove off very gently.We had a long chat about Ian and both came to the same conclusion.He
is just as good looking now as he was thirty years ago.
After we finished Gary allowed me to clean the cab for him and then Ollie( Ians son ) took me back to Alton in the
big Audi.When we got home he asked me for twenty quid for petrol and Twenty five for the days outing.Not bad eh?
When I have saved up enough can I come out again?
MaggieD.Hi Richard.I think your offer sounded a lot better proposition.Next on give us a shout.
Best regards to you all Charlie
Good job I had a fast camera last year to catch this rare occurance
Thank you for the kind words Charlie apertaining my afternoon hospitality to you.
The truth being I was instructed from traniht to ensure you didnt fall from the truck, getting in or out because the insurance cover would be queried and possibly negligible in such circumstances and that I would not be covered for back injury should I have need to hoist you back on your feet.
After intimating that you no longer imbibed, I may consider auctioning the said bottle of Soberano and give the proceeds to the neer do wells of the Borough.

Gary.You wouldn,t be so cruel to an old pensioner would you? I am really looking forward to that bottle.
Its the only thing keeping me going at the moment.Regards Charlie
Hello to you all. As I have been working quite hard of late(trying to earn enough to pay Gazzers wages) I have not been able to give too much thought to the sunday bash.Peter Clue who is working for us and myself have to work on Sunday and wont be able to get down there till the evening. Will anybody still be there or is it an early finish thing.
I have been told that Horri and John of the Davies team will attend and I do hope anybody who would like to come along will do so. I hope Richard Goodchild and his charming lady will attend.
Will there be any kind of collection for the up keep of thatch roofs and very old FH12s as times are very hard

All those people who said that you Ian are a money grabbing person have now been proven right.
As for poor old Half Pint.What are you trying to do to him.You know that he is not a well man.This year I am driving,so Mr Sparrow will go home when I say.Brave eh? No collection.this year.I got caught last.Be there as soon as you can! Regards Charlie
Hello Ian, Gazzer , Charlie etc, Sorry mate I am not allowed to come out and play on Sunday!! It is “her” 60th burfday and her other twin sister is on the same day as her burfday lol lol lol. All so cause my right hand/leg etc dont work at the moment…I also cut off the top of one of my right fingers. (circular saw). When I am allowed to come out and play I will have to pop down to Hants.
Hope you all have a good day
Bye Richard
Hello Richard.Sorry to hear that you are not too well
at the moment.Hope you are soon leaping around like
the spring chicken you are.Let us know when you are coming
down to Gods own county and we might get together.Stay lucky
mate.Happy Birthday to her indoors.Regards Charlie
Hi all sorry to hear you cant make it this year richard we will see you next year.Dont worry Ian it will be a bit off a task but i will sit in the pub all day and wait for you to turn up. Brave man letting cluey lose a a big truck see you all tomorow
Hi,
Richard sorry you won’t be there was looking forward to seeing you again.
Ian, would it be possible to meet up with you in the morning to collect Charlie’s “Running Money” as he will need it to buy some drinks !! also Cluey owes me 900 lira from the 70’s when he was driving for Buckfast ! I was in Pentalvers yesterday asking after him and they all laughed
Charlie If GazIOW hasn’t brought his wallet put him back on the ferry
Just had an email from an unidentified source saying " Please pass this message to all who
are attending the ■■■■ reunion of The Elderly ex Rawlings lorry drivers.When you enter the Wheatsheaf
tell Tim that he is to open up a tab in the name of Traniht,and he will square up when he comes in the evening"
Pretty generous I say.Shame that I will have to be going about 5 oclock.
Hope that this message will encourage a few more to attend who might not have come owing to the economic
downturn.See you all tomorrow Regards Charlie Ps.I did not spell ■■■■ wrong.
