Yes Boris if you had had been thought of in the 1970, you would have seen London brick lorries, hundreds of them, and they did remind me of them, I have handled a few of them in my time " Bricks", concrete blocks, kerb stones, and those 2cwt sacks of corn, oh sorry Boris I was right to say I was driving before you had cradle marks on your bum, you must have been all of two when I was lugging bricks around, you was not even thought of when I was doing the same with sacks, or when I was loading stinking chickens, and concrete garages, I am not proud I did those jobs, but the pay was good and it fed my family, on Carlsberg, it was the best thing I ever done, and drivers from at least twenty miles away was queueing up to get on there if someone died, a load from swifts, butts, wrefords, Rogers, was asking to come on, and I can name at least a dozen who did, as for union I have been in one since I came out of the army in 1958, and proud of it, and they got the drivers pay rises due to the fact of the Hgv licences comming in, for most at earlier times were working for peanuts, and blokes like Harry can tell you, that is why the old red & rust is endeared in their hearts. The middle east men can comment because they did the job, what they say is their opinion, it does not make it true. But you read a few statements and criticise on something you have no experience of, comm’n Boris tell us you driving life and where and when you started what you drove, and did you ever get your hands or clothes dirty and we might be able to wind you up![]()

. I have two sons older than you, and I gave them good advice, never talk about things you know nothing about, for just reading about it don’t make it true or make you a expert.

There comes a point where we get nowhere in this ,you can say what you like in your replies , but none have swayed my opinion of you- if anything reinforced it., like i’ve said most of the others have interesting input in these threads but yours is usually tosh & thats what gets my goat , Oh & if you were driving in the 50s & 60s- the mainstay haulage lorry was an 8 legger BRS one as in the pictures
just ask Harry ,your correlation stems from the fact you didnt start driving till the 70s when the 8 legger London brick AECs were around
Typical of a [zb] is to use the old age cliche
in nappies etc.
is that because you’ve been rumbled
as i mentioned previously i am not a driver although i have a class 1 licence, i am a HGV fitter- does that not give me the right to have an opinion then■■?
Obviously not -you really don’t get it do you
Certain words are ‘caught’ by our auto-censor, so there’s no point in trying to kid it by using astersiks. The asterisks DO NOT make the word become acceptable. dd.
