hiya,
Wrong mines in the shed, would’nt ballast a kiddies helium balloon.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
Bet you have a big shed.

hiya,
My loot would fit in a Scania ashtray and still leave room for a handfull of dogends,once had an f88 that was quite a big shed, and a constructor i had was roomy.
thanks harry long retired.

Harry’ Never been in a Scania,so don’t know about the ashtray. I would imagine they don’t fit ashtrays anymore,although this smoking ban doesn’t affect all the countries that buy Scania’s. Not that I would know,being a none smoker,prefer a pint. :sunglasses:
Cheers Dave.

Getaway Harry, will all know your mattress is stuffed with money, and only the paper type, top class show in London, and the same for the hotel, I will get the gen from your wife, when we meet up, ha ha ha, I laugh for I know you will try to wriggle your way out, harry you are as good as Houdini.

hiya,

This is a proper shed which I had the pleasure of taking back to Barking from Sheffield,no ashtray in her :laughing:

hiya,
Chris, i always fancied one of them in wagon and drag formation a lot nicer on the steering than the octopus or bristol they was heavy old things on the handlebars, i seem to recall the AEC steering was referred to as trailer geared steering.
thanks harry long retired.

The steering wasn’t too bad for an 8-legger Harry,that particular one belonged to Barking depot.It was ex Shell Mex and BP,with a 6-speed box so you weren’t too embarrased on the M1.Henry Longs and Ashworths from Bradford ran them with drags as well as other hauliers.

hiya,
When at Blackburn BRS there was still two or three of that model AEC but artics there had been 8 wheeers but they’d gone when i got a start there drove the artics they was 16 tonners i think, pullling tandam axle trailers and were well up to the job and was’nt too bad pre motorway days certainly nippier than most of the other pre-historic stuff we had.
thanks harry long retired.

Harry The Scania that I drive is a S reg 144,530 with no ■■■ lighter but it does have a ash tray with a lid that I use to keep keys in, definetly not big enough for Norms money.

Regards Keith.

Come on you lot. I could quite get my money into a ciggarette lighter, just roll up the cheque, and slide it in, but I would have to be careful, someone did not set it alight!

hiya,
Just getting an ear bashing of my old lady, you think more of that thing than you do of me, she must be physcic as well, got to admit i do give the old puter a bit of stick i’ll settle her down though, a left hook should do it,
thanks harry long retired.

Our lass says the same - “you’ll get piles sitting at that thing” as if I drove standing bloody up!
It’s different if she wants summat off tinternet shopping though :laughing:

Chris & harry, they are all the same, if you are enjoying yourself, they think its their job to upset you. if you read a book, you have always got your head stuck in that book, if your whatching TV, why don’t you move, you will go crosseyed looking at that all the while. If you spend a hour or two on the net,keeping up with your mates, you are always on that laptop,

Hi boys I bought a couple of fridge magnets quote " Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband " 2rd one " I didn’t say it was your fault I said I was going to blame you " :smiley:

We are all in the same boat. I get told aren’t you coming in here to sit with me,as she is in another room,my pc is a desk one. But tonight I’m ok she has gone swimming. :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

Hi boys
Chris , It looks as if there waiting for Harry to come and rope and sheet it for them…

Regards Keith.

Not me Chris, that is my pet hate, had enough of “Ovis” and those bakers shops, give it to my mate, he may farm it out.Keith the boy, he is a strong strapping lad.
