Andy, do you know what happened to Graham Jarvis? I seem to remember he became an owner driver, but I haven’t heard of him for years. Regards and season’s greetings to you ( and your Dad). Kev.
hiya its royhebb.ex cas driver ,last I heard of graham he was driving for a Doncaster firm,i saw him last year,just cant remember what firm tho,I used to bring the wages up for the birtley depot every Friday night,i was on night trunk from ackworth to Berwick upon tweed, somebody used to meet me at the services through the fence, or sometimes it was a young lad and I met him just past the angel, I think it was cheques tho not cash lol, royhebb
I wouldnt mention Roy about meeting a young man on the services in the middle of the night and giving him money people might gt the wrong idea

just on another note ive just seen the fitter from Selby writing about the Selby depot,i remember some of those names,george ransome he was a character oh boy I remember he used newspapers for curtains in guy big j,and Arthur pickard /roy reed etc etc ,we used to call Selby the handball depot we had some good old nights out sorry to here about ■■■■ pratt,god I could write a book ,im nearly sure one night at Carlisle truck stop he was in one of those first cheap sleeper cabs they had, we all went to bed but he had somebody with him nudge nudge,and the sleeper bit broke off memories
Is this why they called Selby the handball depot Roy
Some good pics there Andy, thanks to all for the input on Graham. Roy, the young lad you used to meet on the services to deliver the wages to was my young pal Iain, don’t worry your reputation is intact, at that time the only thing he was interested in getting into was this ERF. Best wishes to you all for the New Year, Ackworth/Onward was the best job I ever had, also you were a great crew to work with. Regards Kev.
This was taken by Roy Field outside his house he had called home “to use the bog”
its a 265 RR i think day cab used on the Spillers job out of Ackworth the year i guess would be around 1983/4

I think it looked quite fetching! - I don’t know why, but I have Mike Rudd’s name in mind for a name on that job!
Does it have anything to do with waste of space or the job wasnt worth a ■■■■ ■■?
