Hi CWM , It is Waverton as in Wigton, same mistake made by many folks hence Wigton mail frequently goes to South West Scotland to Wigtown the book town and scene of the Wigtown Martyrs many years ago when an old woman and a young lass were drowned tied to stake in River Cree estuary for their religeous beliefs. Also home to the Bladnoch malt whisky distillery a couple of miles further south down the Whithorn road.
Cheers Leyland 600.

Sorry about that blip . 
Mistake duly rectified . 
I knew that there was a lot of confusion caused by the wrong spelling of the two places.
Ah well,…Waverton can stake its claim to its own special boy . 
By the way ,…where is he nowadays ■■

Hi “ERFGuy” ,
You dont have to bribe us ■■■■■■■■■ with a photograph . We are a civilized lot south of Hadrians Wall. 
Thanks for the photo anyway . Hoping you are of better health now.
As for “■■■■■■■■ Gill” , - leave them lasses alone , because they`re only after one thing,…your Fiat Punto . 
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
Aye Roy its surprising what a wee bit bribery can dae. The health well if I was an old engine they would be seriously lookin for a new compressor and air cleaner. Its a case o too much GARDNER reek eh. Eddie.
Nah Eddie, Gardner reek does’t kill you it just makes your hair go white, I remember coming out of my yard one frosty morning with my Bristol ?Gardner 150 coach emitting a good display of blue smoke when my neighbour and GP was filling up his car at the adjacent filling station when he exclaimed “Bloody Hell you will kill someone !!” However I am still alive and kicking some 25 years later, here is the scene recreated about 4 years ago when this Atkinson L745 left my garage after we had been working on it.
Cheers, Leyland 600

Aye a frosty morning in any lorry park where there were a few Gardners starting if you went past an hour later the blue fog was still hanging there eh. Eddie.

hiya,
CG, does she Eddie spot as well, keep her well wrapped up,
thanks harry, long retired.
Good for you , “■■■■■■■■ Gill” , if youve been collaredby a fair maiden . :sunglasses: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: That Fiat Punto must be aBabe Magnet` .
You cannot go through the freedom of life without any worries.
She may not be an Eddie Spotter ,…so she might (hopefully 
) change your hobby to something more adventurous. 
Possibly this explains why the “Waverton One” has not been spending much recent time on TNUK.
All the best , and cheers, cattle wagon man.
Stobart Group is selling 51% of its famous trucking division to pay off debts and concentrate on its energy, air and rail markets.
The deal announced today with Isle of Man investment manager DBAY involves selling a majority stake in its Warrington-based Eddie Stobart business for £280.8m.
This is made up of £195.6m in cash, £44.1m in shares, giving the group 49% of the buying company, and £41.1m in debt assumed by DBAY.
Stobart Group will retain the Eddie Stobart brand, the biomass transport operation, which is 8% of the vehicle fleet, and most of the freehold sites used by Eddie Stobart, which last year generated earnings before interest and tax of £25.6m on revenues of £475.7m.
The deal will allow Stobart Group to invest up to £55m in the growing biomass sector via Stobart Green Energy by investment in existing and new green energy plants, including a proposed site at its Runcorn transport hub.
The air division includes London Southend Airport and Carlisle Lake District Airport, where the group said it is focused on passenger growth through the demand for regional airport capacity in London and the South East and the UK as a whole.
Focusing on the rail sector, the group said its civil engineering business will continue to focus on third party rail contracts and will support Stobart Green Energy with its green energy plant investment plans.
Cash from the acquisition will be used to fund a share buyback of up to £35m of the company’s ordinary shares over the coming year and repay an existing £100m loan, leaving it with minimal net debt.
The group said today’s deal “represents another stage of delivering on our strategy of realising the value of our more mature assets at the right time”.
William Stobart will leave the group board and lead Eddie Stobart Logistics as chief executive, driving growth in the business as a private company.
Stobart chief executive Andrew Tinkler said: “This is a further stage in delivering our strategy of creating and realising value for our shareholders.
“Moving forward, we are focused on capitalising on the opportunities in our Infrastructure and support services divisions, enhanced by investment in Stobart Green Energy.”
William Stobart added: “I really welcome this investment from DBAY and look forward to heading up the new partnership as chief executive.
“DBAY have a strong track record of working with existing management teams within businesses, as they will do with us, to help drive growth.
“We already have an extremely loyal customer base who we look forward to continuing to work with. It is an exciting time for us to grow this business and I am looking forward to this next stage and the opportunities that it will bring for our employees and customers.”
DBAY Advisors is a regulated investment manager based on the Isle of Man. It manages funds on behalf of institutional investors, foundations and family offices.
It says members of the DBAY team have a record of building businesses and creating value in the logistics sector.
