Harry, I did, and at those dances, not all was granny, but drinking that liquid gold can blur your vision. Once when in Carlisle, I went to the TALK OF THE NORTH, and a Carlsberg driver was with this women, and was pie eyed, he said Norman I have crack it, I just laught and said see you in the morning, she made the wicked witch of the west from wizard of oz look beautiful! When I met up with him the next day, I said how was the love of your life? He replied you saw her, I nodded. how old do you think she was, not a day under 65 and she was so ugly, I dare not look at her, in case I turned to stone, I said with a smile on my face. He said I know, I woke up and ran out the house, got a taxi to the truckstop.

I seem to recall one of those “maidens” that used to frequent the old “Boundary Cafe” opposite WBA football ground on an awayday to Carlisle Truckstop having a mishap. This lady was so large that when her entertaining was finished she was unable to get out of the door of the cab,( don’t know what she could have been feasting on to have such an immediate affect), the end result was they had to take the windscreen out to effect her escape!! God knows how the driver explained that to his guv’nor.

hiya,
Go on Kev tell me who it was, i had a pal who drove for a North West outfit who was very attracted to ladies of lets just say “adequate proportions” he was quite a good looking guy and could have pulled more shapely maidens but he had this thing about big birds i did see him once in Stoke on Trent with this huge lass and no doubt if he could have got her in the shed it would have been cab roof off and an Iron Fairy job to get her out jeez was she big, oh and ugly, guess it takes all sorts.
thanks harry long retired.

I didn’t know the driver Harry and we were to busy laughing (at this poor fella’s predicament) to be much help to him, but I do remember it was a mk1 Atki. Regards Kevin.
Hey Kev was you there, I have heard this story quite a few times, the chap on the pumps at the Carlisle told me it was a Scania, and they had to take the window screen out, and this was in the 80’s when CB was at its best, but never heard it from who was there when it happened.

I was there that night Norman and as far as i can remember, (although I had been drinking the witches brew Brown Dog) it was an Atki.
Just been looking at another thread, which seems to confirm my recollection from carlisle truckstop,( even though I was three sheets to the wind) It was an Atkinson.
Well Kev, Harry will tell you, they are sharp as knives on here, and will pull you up, unless you have proof written in blood, confirmed by six witnesses who have had lie detector test!

Well Norman over the years gaffers i’ve worked for have had all the blood in my veins so all thats left is a mix of Brown Dog, Bushmills whiskey, sweat and a few tears, so I don’t think the writing would be very legible but any pretty young nurse in an extremely short skirt is more than welcome to try for an inkwell full. Regards Kevin.
I do not know who to blame Kevin, wherever it is you, or Trevor H, for our Harry has not been on the thread for a while, I know Trevor gave him a bottle of whisky, I think he must be so pie eyed, he cannot see the keys on his laptop, or then again it might be Mark, for they had a good session together, but you guys must be careful, you could be making him indulge too much, he is not as young as you fellows!

Aye,good luck Harry. 
I want you for a Durham - Wolverhampton changeover next week,got you a nice AEC MK5 Mandator with 6-speed box…
And two wipers
Harry, hurry back, I am frightening myself, I have been uninstalling programs, and just down loaded Internet explorer 9 Beta, do you think I am becomming a nerd!

Hope Harry is celebrating good news with a bottle of malt Norm.I expect he will appear out of the blue with a witty remark or two.
Cheers Dave.
Hope so too Dave,I hope he is not too worn out with all the decorating. I will tell you a secret Dave, he don’t use spirits to thin his paint! Whisky is what he adds, just so when it dry’s he can breath in, and is overcome with intoxication.

Probably to lick the walls clean Norm. There is the saying give it a lick of paint,now we know why .
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Well Kev, Norm, Chris and Dave well the hospital visit went OK they’ve altered my visits from six monthly to nine monthly and although no green light as yet they are pleased with my progress so i might last a bit longer, now then Chris two wipers and an AEC you are spoiling me what with the six speed box and i’ll dare bet i can blow a few of the present day “snails” off on that doddle of a changeover, and you Norman do you really think i would use a single malt to dilute the gloss no way i buy Tesco’s own blend for that job and cleaning the brushes, the good stuff i drink so’s i do a good job can’t face decorating unless i’m p"“”"d can’t paint straight when i’m sober, so Kev it looks like you and the lads will have to put up with me at the next “do”, and Dave last but certainly not least it was once said if my wit was dynamite it would’nt blow my cap off.
