Hi Harry,
That would be a sight to behold,someone having a piddle riding a bike.I wouldn’t want to borrow the bike. But then again,what type of bike 
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Tell you what Dave thats a couple of nice working horses, is there a connection??, family member working them maybe, there’s a farm not far from here that still uses the real mc’coy horsepower it’s part of the Beamish Museum and to see those animals working is a real treat could watch them all day, could have been a long distance horseman in another life wonder what the pay was like, and you could always take a tinkle when on the open road and blame the horse.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
No I pinched it off a calender which we had. The all Wales and World Championship ploughing match,was held about half a mile from here last year,there were 150 tracters,old and new competing in different classes,also about a dozen pairs of Horses ploughing,it was a brilliant sight,with all the brasses on them. I went along to have a look,because it will never be seen around here again in my lifetime. They have a few ploughing matches in Herefordshire each year with Horses taking part,but not up this way. As you know I am a bit of a nostalgic git,not much into ploughing,but like to see the older things,being a country bumpkin. 
Cheers Dave.

Now then Harry look where some daft sod has parked this,can’t trust Fisher Renwicks drivers to do owt rayt.Can you get Norman to run you up in a car and shift it.Take it home if you want.
hiya,
One problem here Chris, which way do i turn to get me on the road to Durham, and a question any fiddle on board cos i’ve got a pal at Ferrybridge who’ll buy owt.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, you have to be on the straight and narrow, now you are retired, you must be a honest pensioner like me 
, I know it is hard for you , but you must set a standard to the young and green lorry drivers,
hiya,
Story of my life Norm, stuck to to the straight and narrow a bit too hard thats why i’ve got nowt.

Back it up a touch and turn right for Manchester then A62 Standedge,Huddersfield,Wakefield and Pontefract and into Ferrybridge.The fiddle is on the a*** end,don’t let it get wet.If you can’t get rid make sure it’s double sheeted plus a fly sheet.You’ll get shut of it in Durham,they’ll buy owt up there.
hiya,
Norm deviation from the the proper course was’nt part of my repetoire i was a thoroughbred red and ruster, and if you believe that you can juggle snuff.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Perhaps Chris wants you to take that eight legger over the " Cat & Fiddle " to Buxton,just to see what she pulls like,and to test the brakes on the way down.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Chris said Durham and thats where she’s going bit of level for a change, it’s a long long time since i was anywhere near Buxton i might get lost then i’d have to phone the “sand wobbler” for directions rubbish with sat-nav and my map as fallen in bits, have had the latter since i kicked off in 1957 it’s got no blue lines on it, will it be still be up to date i wonder.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Don’t think you would need a map,with all your experience and memories I think you would manage better than most. I know a lot of people who can’t even read a map,expect you know a few as well.Not into sat nav,if I don’t know where it is I look in a road atlas,but usually have a good idea without. I suppose a sat nav is useful for the parcel delivery blokes,as long as it doesn’t send them down a grass track.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Talk about turning into grass tracks, once picked an attractive young lady up and she told me she was a witch, i asked her to explain, she said she could turn people into different things, she put her hand on my leg and like a shot i turned into a lay-by. SORRY.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi H& D Re. Sat Navs If you draw a straight line (even on H,s map) between Barrow and Penrith/Carlisle you will travrese some of the highest terrain in England thats if you can find a road !! Well every 2/3 weeks some Wassock gets dog knotted in the middle of the Lake District with an artic ! It is absolutely b****y unbelievable were they have tried to go but they blame their sat nav’s !! A Herdwick sheep would have trouble !It never happened before the technology for the Brain Dead was ivented.!! Get that Map out “H” cheers both Bewick

Hi Dave Yea OK I bet if it was one of Gough’s you could give chapter and verse on it !!! However on second thoughts if you thought it was smart it might have been on its side !!! If it had been on its side and you had put it on screen the wife would be comforting me now( there there love don’t take on so its only that nasty Welshman winding you up !!) Get the Reg No and I will give you the spiel on it. Cheers Bewick
