Now that would be a miracle lol.
Well I was on the pumps filling up, and I asked why the scania was having a new windowscreen in, had a accident happened, no the reply was, the driver had a very big female inside, and in the morning, he could not get her out, they had to take it out to remove her, and he told me them details, I can only say what I saw, and what I was told, I trust it was true, until proven otherwise.

Well as a experient trucker Al, I should say he used Snow chains, to get better traction, as he reversed her into the cab, or to put it bluntly I do not Know ha ha ha

Truckstop Carlisle, I remember A chap in a Scania had this extra large bird to entertain him, then in the morning, he could not get her out of the door, I heard, that they took the windowscreen out, and rolled her out on to a pallet which was on a forklift, I bet his face was red, along with something else no doubt. Sandman NormanCome on Norman we need to know how he got her in there
regards Big Al
hiya,
Norm, it’s the old adage of it’s easy to get into bed but sometimes it can be a bit of a pig to get out of it,i could have done with a crane or a forklift to get me out o bed some mornings especially when i’ve given the pop a bit of a lacing the previous evening.
thanks harry long retired.
hi harry, used to drink in peep-peeps, can you remember the skeleton beside the ladies toilet, had many a good laugh at that, marys cafe was opposite, some brs lads stayed there, used to stay in digs of king st, happy memories harry 
bumper
hiya,
Bumper the skeleton and the bag of flour that went up and down everytime the main door opened and closed,remember the place got the name the toughest pub in Britain on a TV programme, i was in there many times and never once saw any trouble just a fun pub in my opinion and handy for the digs and the BRS depot.
thanks harry long retired.

Sandman NormanI have heard that Big Bertha story from so many people, the truck varied too from an Atki to a Dodge. I dont doubt your words Norman, but there were a lot of drivers who just missed the Herald of Free Enterprise that fateful night
I seem to remember a lady of the road who was often waiting near on the A38 Derby near Markeaton Park roundabout. I was too young but I remember Dusty Miller from Hull often stopping for her services.
Did the Markeaton Park lady look like this Malc?
She was probably Ripley Lil,aka the Ripley Pig.The Prince of Wales pub on Butterley Hill going into Ripley (A61) was her haunt in the late 60s.
She supped bottles of Guinness,she once threw one(empty) at my Leyland Badger when I was on nights,don’t know why as I never worked for BRS whose drivers she hated for some reason,especially the Sheffield and B’ham depots.
Dusty Miller loved a drink but even he couldn’t drink enough to make her look presentable In days of old, Dusty would turn up in the yard blind drunk, the boss would lift & push him into his F88 and give him a trailer for Montrose Occasionally he would come straight back down, sometimes he stopped off for a little drink.
Then there was the Grantham Gobbler…
Stamford - Doncaster was her patch of the A1
Morley’s cafe at Markham Moor was a regular place for her.

Hi Norman, you should of told that Scania driver to park near The Red Lion in Aldgate in the early 70’s.
He would never of had that problem with Bridgett The Midget .
Steve, I had some goodnights out in London, the nightclub on the A13 Circus tavern and saw Jimmy Jones, I think JIm Davison modelled himself after him, he used to say to a women with big bust in the front, I love your puppies, can I have the one with the brown nose. When we used to deliver to Truman’s in Brick lane & Whitechapel, we used to go to some good pubs, also when I parked off of Old Kent road, plenty of boxing pubs in that area, and I loved the seafood stalls that was always around those area’s, I heard of the small lady, but never met her, when in BAOR I met a little german girl Brigit, you needed a few bricks to stand her on to kiss her, or you got a crick in the neck, I always thought of her as my propellor, and me the plane, but we had some lovely flights together ha ha ha.

It was the other way round with me Norm.I went with a girl who was two foot taller than me.
When we were nose to nose me toes were in it.
When we were toes to toes me nose was in it.
SAmmy, I rember going to a pub there in the 70’s and put my initials on the board for pool, and this chap with a beatiful cue, was winning game after game, and he said when it was my turn to play, have you put your money on the table, I said yes, I am just putting the balls on the table, no he said mean for your next game, and laught, I said no I have not, because I will not lose this one, and said here is a tenner, put up or shut up, he did, and never saw what way I went, as I potted the black, and he had not sunk a ball. The place was full of laughter, he said I want a return match, I replied certainly, put your name up, and you money for the game on the table, the pub had cast iron pillars, and he lost his rag, and swung his cue against the pillar, and broke it in two, he stormed out of the pub, with the players & customers jeering him. This cockney, said mate, that was what we have been wanting to happen for years, have a pint on me.Sandman Norman

My God, the Red Lion Aldgate now that brings back memories, any one remember Jacko the barman, what a thug he was, Brigitte the midget and Greg the leg, on account he only had one, he was always outside Tubby issacs scrounging a few bob for an old soldier, tell him to ■■■■ of and he would start swinging his crutches, that was funny. Does anyone remember the night it kicked of in there with the boys from British Beef, it was one of thems birthday and they got him up with the striper and Jacko came flying over the bar throwing punches only to get punched back over the bar, then all the back room boys came steaming in and boy was that fun.
Happy Days.

Norman do you remember The Rose Of Denmark and The Marshall Keats both down the East End, as a young 21 year old country bumpkin fresh in the ways of the
world I used to stroll into these pubs not knowing they were the haunts of notorious gangsters and where even looking sideways at a pretty lady would earn you
a savage beating. The Rose of Denmark was straight opposit the old Silvertown Motel on George street just off Silvertown Way, The Marshall Keats did bed and breakfast
and I used to stay there when I was delivering to the docklands area. regards Big Al
I forgot about this one, The Mill in Scunthorpe, it was a Beefeater type boozer with a mahoosive car park, had many a night there when I used to load Nestle to Italy/Spain/Greece, never slept in the cab much there, them Scunny girls cook up a lovely bacon sarnie 
Yes big Al I do remember that pub, I am terrible for names, I also remember a pub up the road from Whitechaple, a pub across the road from the brewery, tube station, then a quarter of a mile straight up the road, on the same side, was a pub who had strippers, two blokes got shot in the tiolet by gangsters, the name is hazy, ? Cavileers ?
