Hi all , has anyone got any pics of fibreglass seddons ( the ones before the “GUY” cab ) 
~ remember BRS Northampton had some late 60s early 70s 
didnt they have the same engine as the mandator 
hiya,
Teeth like stars Norm, yes they’re out at night but the barnet is all natural a bit of distnguished grey hair or in my case “extinguished” or there would be if i’d leave it alone, it’s normally swirling round the plughole in the bathroom washbasin en-route to the North Sea, but that has got to change the old women says i resemble a thug and i’ve told her i’ll let it grow if i can have a beard to match, she said i would’nt know if had my head on upside down or not if i grew a beard, you can’t please some women, but she’ll be pleased as hell with her Valentine’s day pressie i’ve just spotted the car needs a couple of tyres on the front that should put a smile on her face, who says i don’t know how to treat a lady.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Had a no 2 haircut for years,also a beard looked a bit like a thug as you say,helps to keep unwanted bible bashers and burglers away.Nowadays if I mention a beaard,all I get is I’m not sleeping with a hedgemonkey,but if we have a nice summer,the crewcut will be back. 
Cheers Dave.

Do you get bothered with jehovas in the sticks Dave !! The cheeky bs have called here regularly !! The wife just ■■■■■■ them off but if I answer i get stuck in !! I used to tell them that I had enough agrro as the wife was a Roman C. ( she is ) and I was an Orangeman ( I’m not ) and I banged the big drum in the parades ! That knackered them for a while !!Then the cheeky bs fetched their top local man and offered to mediate between the wife and me!! So I put it to him if I was his closest relative and I was on life support in hospital would he give permission for me to have a blood tranfussion ? That F****d him completely so I told him he was a ct and to close the gate on the way out and to scratch a message in codeon the stoop for the other Jehova ■■■■■■■■■ to stay away !! I wished I still had the big dog I would happily set it onto those B***s !!But They are stopping away for now ! cheers Dennis.

I have never used any ■■■■■■ on them yet ! They get the message by my attitude. I say I don’t want to know,also say shut the gate on the way out. If they ever get more persistent I will cut loose on them. I cannot abide them,I am not religious at all,I’m agnostic,got no views on it whatsoever,I can put them or any other unwanted herberts to go including the tarmac gypo’s to go,no problem.
Cheers Dave.

Point taken Dave !! Heaven forbid we could end up with Carryfast on the thread explaining all about laying tarmac with a Sherman tank or similar !! Sorry Harry and Norm I didn’t mean to infect your thread intentionally Cheers Bewick.
hiya,
Now Dennis and Dave nowt to fear from old Norm and me, wer’e only keeping the thread warm for Frenchy for when he decides to make an appearance, too much stuff of interest to just let it fade away and occasionally someone posts some good pics and stuff of interest, after all during my time there was more lads wanting to become red and rusters and had their names down for when a rare vacancy came up to me it was a good job and most of us did do a good days work contrary to what some people said.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry I reckon Old Frenchy has got himself a bit on the side, for you don’t see his name around on this forum, he has not been the same since he moved house.
I haven’t read all the posts so I don’t know if it’s already been noticed, but I make a point of looking over at the BRS signs on the old depot buildings at the side of Leeds Uniteds, Elland road football ground when I pass on the Motorway/ring road. I don’t know how much longer it will be there as they are redeveloping the area. I didn’t work for BRS as private hauliers were proving more attractive, but it still brings back memories of the good old days.

I’m afraid you’re too late mate,the place was pulled down about a year ago, maybe more. I’ve not been into the city centre for a while, so I don’t know if the old BRS office building behind the Headrow has been flattened yet.
To Dave the Renegade, My brother had a knock at the door he struggled to get up and answer it ( he was disabled ) The guy rattled his tin and said “Good morning sir, Doctor Barnardo;s home” My brother snarled at him and said “F/// off i didn.t know he,d been away.”" charming fellow. regards Terry,
fodenway, thanks for the update. I haven’t been past it for a while. I knew they were ready for altering the area. Another memory gone.
hiya,
BRS HQ Leeds offices were still in-situ 5 months ago i walked past it en-route to the market with my old lady in tow on a day trip.
thanks harry long retired.
hi harry, can you tell me about smiths or McKINNONS from darvel/kilmarnock, who were i think BRS then maybe returned to owners■■? my uncle drove for them most of his life, and ending with bees scotland. also there was another company had trucks in darvel…mairs tatties (dodges) eat mair tatties!!! then smith of drumclog, and i went to school with cunningham of galston.(g.d or c.d cunnie) im on lenham storage just now and we are doing seemingly beter then some.
hiya,
Jimmy M, i remember well all these outfits they was running about when i first kicked off in the late fifties, and most companies would have been under the BRS umbrella at some point, Mairs the spud people were most likely on the old C licence and would most likely have escaped but that’s only an assumption, i actually worked for a large firm in the sixties who at one time had been BRS and never knew that when i was there,but there’s someone on here sure to know maybe Alexville or Stavaiger, when i was a red and ruster we was often told of places where we could no longer get fuel because of them returning to private ownership and to cross them off the list. but my memory is rubbish now.
thanks harry long retired
thanx for that harry. aye mairs tatties ran their own produce so they maybe weren’t nationalised. lenham were. why were they nationalised in the 1st place? did the huge fuel charges come after they were returned to private owners? why are all the governments ion this country hell bent on killing the transport industry? why is stobbart a twot?
hiya,
Jimmy M, We all know why transport is such an expensive game, now the government has got rid of all it’s money makers, they get virtually nothing from the sale of ciggies, people are buying under the counter cheapies the same with booze so robbing the HGV lads and the motorists is easy money, yep they’ve got rid of all the silver revenue raisers like pubs and clubs they are closing their doors cos people are drinking cheap stuff in there own homes, i just can’t wait for the prospective candidates for parliament to come aknocking i’ll tell them where to go in my own specialist manner.
thanks harry long retired.
