hi jack,can we a address or name of the club we are going to please,thanks keith
Cant remember the name of the place, but it’s close to where Stuart Sugden lives, he’s the president or something like that, we went to look when I met him but the stuard was out and it was closed, but when he comes home from his holidays about the 3rd October we will have a count up of names and get it booked. :-Jack
Hullo Jack,
I’m an ex subbie of Aone, I was just reading your last posting regarding spell checks. A good point I may say. At this Club where Stuart Sugden spends his time, did you speak to the Steward or the STUARD . Just taking the ■■■■ mate really.
Cheers, Archie.
How right you are"sh-mart ■■■", it was the steward, , but more to the point are you coming to the reunion, I know at least one ex subbie who’s going to be there, his name’s Richard Barraclough who now has a pub in Exelby,North Yorkshire, near Leeming Bar

Will be back in time for the reunion I hope, Stuart was thinking of Lightcliffe Conservative club you will find the
directions on Multimap or Google map, Dennis do you think we can charter a plane to fetch MR C Marshall from Portugal.
no I don’t think thats amusing either
hi mushroomman,wish you could come to the reunion but that would but a expensive taxi from were you live
Are you joking me Keith , there is no way that I could afford to hire a taxi from here but if I can find one of my old Log Books then I might consider hitching it .
I am sure that if somebody does a bit of research then you might be able to get hold of some cartons of Kronenburg, bottles of Frizzanti, Pilsener from Pilsen and some of that Bulls Blood from Hungary called Marfatla. Anyway there is no substitute for a pint of Timothy Taylers or in case of an emergency a pint of Tetleys if there is no Boddingtons available but if the couple of nights that I had all those years ago with some of the A1 lads then I am sure that you will have a great night .
Without trailing back through all these pages, somebody used to post on TruckNet under the name of Baccy Bill’s Apprentice, now at the back of my mind I have a feeling that A1 had a driver who they all called Baccy Bill or am I getting confused again .

Hullo Old Holborn,
Saw your post on here, whereabouts does Chris Marshall hang out in Portugal ? I am out in Portugal at the moment, but only for a few more days as I am clearing my house and fetching my stuff back home to Pickering. It would be good to see him again, it must be over 20 years since I last saw him, although I suppose he will be down on the Algarve doing the golfing thing. ( and he does’nt owe me £6o)
Cheers, Archie.

Hull Jack,
So sorry about that, it was just too good to miss What is the decided venue, date and time of the reunion ? I always am away though during the Winter. If I am still in the UK I would’nt mind having a look in,Thank you for the invitation. At the moment I am in Portugal, retuning next week to Pickering, then I shall be off to Brasil in the middle of November, until early May. I shall have a look in at Richards’ Pub in Excelby when I’m at home. The only place that I can remember near Exelby was the old Windmill Cafe at Rainton. (A1)
Cheers, Archie.
Alec Kinnon a blast from the past. I remember having a night out with Alec in the Isle of Dogs If there was an England Drinking Team then Alec would be the captain. The next time I crossed his path was in the lorry park in Newark. His cab was empty I think he must have been eating in the Wharf Cafe. So I took my self off to the cinema for a quiet couple of hours [ coward ] Then bumped into him just in time for a couple before closing time. Alec told me how he went to New York for a holiday and while there discovered a bar that did a Beer Burger. On asking what this was the barman said for nine dollars you get a Hamburger and as many bottles of beer as you want. After a few hours the Barman asked Alec if he lived in New York. No said Alec I am on holiday and go home in a couple of days. Thank Christ for that said the Barman. Why whats up asked Alec? Thats the 23rd bottle of beer you have drunk this dinnertime.
Well Iam sat here watching the biggest load of, to be honest I cannot find words to describe what I am veiwing.
it is called modern day trucking, over dramatised production by some one who has know idea what the road transport
is realy about, god help the public to witness such material, the real life trucking stories lay in the previous companies
in days gone past and the drivers who were involoved in incidents that did not need any dramatics.
When a driver was a everything but a driver,he needed to be. a mechanic, electrician,a clerk with knowledge of invoices
in different langauges at variouse country borders, the several days delays awaited if the papers had one mistakes or the permit
for that country was out of date, and so many other incidents that contributed to smooth transistion of freight, that was trucking
in a big way, ask Astrans,Cantrell Cowboys, Dow freight and of of course A One Transport to say the least,
there are other TV stations to watch switching over now.

Let me guess ? The “Fast Eddie” Logistic Regiment Soap Opera!! The wife watches the soaps but I never do.But no doubt the great British public who don’t know any different will no doubt lap it up!!!I wonder how many Trucknet members will own up to watching it? None if I was to hazzard a guess!! Bewick.

I have to hold one hand up on this one, the other one is moping up the tears of laughter. At least we now know how to stop steady in his tracks, just highjack his two tankers, simples. As for the dangerous load of diesel, what would they have made of petrol or Nitro-Cellulose from ICI. I remember when someone on M6 south of Penrith closed the M6 and stripped the tar out of the road surface, when his load of N-C went up like one of those blocks of fireworks. Surely they were actors, proper drivers would have been rolling on the floor howling with laughter, there`s no way a driver could have spoken those soundbites with a straight face. Was thinking though, the two gaffers started out washing wagons, wonder how long before those two Poles at the wash are running the show. .
Its a good thing you are still around Keith because I honestly don’t think they know how
to put a bulb in,mention a jack and they would say who’s he, strip a tilt and the response !! where is that club.
No seriously its now climb in turn the satnav on and aim the truck.
Them two Poles probably do own it. just good hearted banter.

hi les i did not watch that crap because i remember the small firms that man put down when he put trucks in a town cut the rates and was one of the first firms to not pay overtime rate forsing other firms to do the same to servive …{{whitch resulted in to days low pay in our industry}} s broughton
Take a close look at the program and you will see one particular driver drinking while driving,yes we have all probably
done the same but not in front of many viewers.and more than likely the majority of Stobart drivers are cringing of
this portrayal by some of the drivers, but its the sign of times that are more concerned with [image than intelligence, common sense
and the ability to think for ones self,]one wonders how they would have been able to cope with accent and decent of CERDON and
the highway from Sallanches over the steel works to entrance of Mont Blanc in the winter times, and so many other places,
not that I would want those times back but they were certainly challenging times and required raw driving skills.hows that Stuart
Jack, Keith, Dennis, and all the rest, now to jump of my soap box.
, but more to the point are you coming to the reunion, I know at least one ex subbie who’s going to be there, his name’s Richard Barraclough who now has a pub in Exelby,North Yorkshire, near Leeming Bar
