See Maurice Eccles [Bradford wool rollers boss] died recently, dont expect anyone will shed tears over him as he was a horrible little t**t. Good ridance in my book !!!
His name rings a bell, didn’t he work for Chapman or A1 when I knew him, there were a few arrogant bosses around then and he sounds like one of them. "-Jack
Hi Jack, he was at Edwards Bell maybe Renwicks, or both, [ minds going ], City Road, not the best Transport Manager I ever worked for, don’t know anyone who had a good word for him.
Les.
Hi Les, I think he did a short spell at Chapmans, he was worse than Joe Rubbery, “an ex driver” who worked himself into the office and turned into another arrogoant “bar stuard”, and your right he did work for Edward Bell, one of the most hated managers in Bradford, just to let you know Rubbery did good for himself in Transport, but not a friend of drivers, his son who also worked for K G Fielder after leaving school worked in the wool office ened up being a director of the didgital company who worked from Salt’s mill Saltare, who eventually sold his share and bought Huddersfield Foot ball/Rugby ground and club, which goes to show that being a arrogant GIT can pay for some folks. Regards :- Jack
PS Rubbey’s son was Barry Rubbery, look it up in Huddersfield rugby club.!!!
Now and again my mind goe’s limp Les, but I use Duracell batteries to boost it up now and again, you should try them.
Hi Jack, thanks for the tip, as for the other quote its funny how some people get on by being a pratt,
hiya,
I’d like to know how Jack takes his Duracell by mouth or in the suppository style .
thanks harry, long retired.
Hi Harry, the Duracell pink rabbit says they last 12 times longer, that’s good enough for any Yorkshire man, .
Les.
Sorry guy’s cant say where I put them, only that if install too many it can cause constipation. :-Jack

One thing I don’t have a problem with Harry, she learned early in life how to drive, her hubands has his own trucks and she drove the Dutcheses of Devonshiere’s horse box to and from Newmarket for 5 years, but just in case I left a diagram of which side to park on the pump’s so she didn’t scratch the paint work pulling the fill hose over the wrong side, she also knows how to clean her own car so she will leave it cleaner than I do. :- Jack

Had to smile the other day when I saw a skip wagon here in Blackpool with the message on the sun shield= If it isnt a Cat its a dog.[/quote
Many years ago, when transiting Germany on my way to Hungary, we often saw US military trucks and wreckers on the Autobahn, on one wrecker it said " if we cant mend it, it aint broken", another said “you bend em and we’ll mend em”, which was just about right for the US military. :-Jack
hiya,
A little true story, when travelling from Dusseldorf to the Dutch border, my
wife who had never travelled on the autobahns before remarked to me and
I quote " aren’t there a lot of places named Ausfarht in Germany, could only
be a woman who could come out with that.
thanks harry, long retired.

The only name I know that means the same in almost every language is “beer” “bier” " biera", call it what you like but it always means the same, “booze”, and you can find it if you follow any Ausfarht :- Jack
