Well Dennis, Lovely shot of the Ivory Tower, I suspect the 2nd White phone was the direct connection to the Atkinson Dealer Principal’s office…….no wonder you were well blessed with the product

If you were acquainted with our local Atki Dealer Principal in the 70’s he was the last idiot you would want a direct line to EW !! Here is a shot of the later office I occupied in the 90’s which was somewhat of an improvement over the previous one !
Guy Big J with a 240 percy in it. Pish over anything

You tell 'im, Dan! Any time soon he’ll claim the best thing about the Atki was “Driver comfort”. Ask him about the top-of-the-range office chair that he drove!

Well, at least your upgrade meant that you had a seat for both the driver and the union rep!
Foden for me i had an ERF for a few days and didnt like it but the Foden i drove was very good As for Atkis my dad got a brand new one when i was a kid and he wasnt impressed thats after coming off a '59 Mk V MM8 and trailer with the 9.6 in and a 5 speed box 38mph

Well to even things up. Dennis 1 saturday morning on the way back from Trinity paper mill at Ramsbottom i was with my dad following a loaded trailer on the M62 near where the farm sits in the middle and we noticed it had a soft tyre.So my dad put his foot down in the Mandator and barely got up side of what turned out to be an Atki with a 240 Gardner in it . He told the driver who wasnt too concerned and the Atki was off we couldnt keep up with him and we were empty
