Hi, if that old Scammels fleet number was CA 1 then the Trailer was a bow fronted box with roller shutter doors each side, I have shunted this old girl when she had trunked down to London, she was a nice drive. If I remember correctly CA 3 was a Leyland Octopus 8 wheeled box from Greenheys, not such a nice drive…Tony.

you guys certainly have got great memories I cant remember what happened yesterday sometimes you guys certainly have got great memories I cant remember what happened yesterday sometimes ,repeating myself now 
seriously though good job these memories are not lost and great pics hopefully this old scammell will be restored, I remember them when I would go to work with my dad in the school hols in the 50s and 60s they always seemed to be tankers then for shell my old man had a fondness for them he drove diamond T tank transporter in the war but in peacetime he drove lighter stuff maybe he had enough of heavy haulage he did drive an artic for BRS parcels though early 50s out of the city road depot I think better stop or I will ramble on cheers fred

When I saw that old scammell,it reminded me of the song we used to sing in the REME. Our seargent major is a bloody fool, he is always playing with his tool, He can’t ride a camel let alone drive a Scammell. I think they were verses from the " Queenstreet Girls".

“When we go down to the beach for a swim,
People remark on the size of our quims,
You can bet your bottom dollar it’s like a horse’s collar,
For we are the Queen Street girls”.
“Enough,enough five fingers up yer chuff”
“Our flight sergeant he is a fool,
He’s only got a teeny weeny tool,
It’s alright for keyholes and little girlies wee 'oles,
But not for the Queen Street girls”.
That’s the one Norm
Just shows what our youth was like Chris, the othe one was to the woods, do you rember that.

Not sure about the woods Norm although it rings a distant bell.Did it start summat like - “Standing on the bridge at midnight” - Remind me… 
What about this one,to the tune of the Eton Boating song:-
It was saturday night at the Old Vic,
Sir John Gielgud was there,
Him and Noel Coward,
Shaving their pubic hair.
Chorus.
Oh,we’re all queers together,
That’s why we walk round in pairs,
Yes we’re all queers together,
Excuse us while we go upstairs.
I went for a ride on a puff-puff,
It was crowded and I had to stand,
A little boy offered his seat to me,
I felt for it with my hand.
Chorus - Oh we’re…
Oh the ■■■■■■ life of the camel,
Is greater than anyone thinks,
At the height of the mating season,
It tries to bu**** the Sphinx,
BUT the Sphink’s posterior oriface,
Is blocked with the sands of the Nile,
That accounts for t’hump on t’camel,
And the Sphink’s inscrutable smile.
Never been to Egypt,learned it in Singapore
Could have been this camel,eh?
hiya,
That was one good thing about driving for the old “red and rust” there was nothing to get the hump about, have just booked a couple of weeks in Tunisia for later on this year might take up long distance camel driving when i’m over there espescially if you get transported about in the back of a motor, gis a job.
thanks harry long retired.
Chris here it is " To the woods" oh no I’m only thirteen, I 'm not supertisious, to the woods, my mother would not like it, your mother not getting it, to the woods, I will tell the vicar, I am the vicar, to the woods. This was told in a high pitched voice for the girl and a deep voice for the man, their are a load more, used to do it to entertain the troops, you can go on for a hour or so. a little more, I want to go to the cinema, I will take you there, to the woods, I want to see pictures, I will show you pictures, to the woods, I want to see moving picture, I will move the bleeders, to the woods. 
hiya,
Help Frenchy i’m being swamped by one or two crackpots, again.
thanks harry long retired
Hey Harry, where are you going to in Tunisia, I have been there 5 times, the last two to Port el kantaoui, the first time Monastir, and talking of crackpots, you taught us all we know on that subject.
hiya,
Norm Royal Kenz Hotel, Port el Kentaoui an adults only holiday hotel,and to be truthful if i’ve taught you all how to be crackpots the task was the easiest job i’ve ever had you was all quick learners, so i need no thank you’s i’ve got a box full of them.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry it is a very nice hotel,I had a look around it, you are going to the best place for walking around there, it has a very nice marina in that place is a old galleon restaurant, had a nice meal on it for a change, also took a fold up fishing rod, took some sliced ham & bread from the hotel and had a few quiet afternoons fishing near the boats, as quick as I caught them, I had this cat meowing for me to feed him , I had took the wife out early shopping and wore her out, she was resting on the bed at the Marajah hotel only five minutes walk from the marina. Schruchran= thanks.
hiya,
Thanks for that Norm nice to hear the place is canny from someone who’s been to the same place, the travel agent sang it’s praises “her MuM goes there twice a year” but them b"gg""s can sell snow to Eskimos and thanks for the language lesson Norm but a few “Scottish Wines” and beer chasers you’ll find i’m “fluid” in two languages English and Rubbish and possibly better at the latter as anybody daft enough to read my posts will verify, anyway good buddy it’ll be the first two weeks in August fly out on the 1st back on the 15th so if you plan a trip over there this year pick those two weeks and i’ll let you get me drunk and teach me how to drown worms, is fishing as exciting as watching cricket or paint drying??, have to dash upstairs and hide under the bed there’s a couple of guys both wearing white coats ringing the doorbell.

Hi Harry.
Fishing was once described as “a jerk at one end waiting for a jerk at t’other”
