Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

Come on Horry ! Ain’t gonna build the new Skoda model till the Piggy comes home !
Right there just abaft the door handle between the blue and silver stripe me finks !!

Andrew Morrison:
the skoda’s look good but there’s just one thing missing??0 :smiley: :smiley:

Actually if the little grey cells are working we nicked that pig motif from a catering company at the time and altered it some what, I think it is tradition as when the new chereau trailers came on stream I had conversation with Horry and said take the Super Calibre Frigo Logistics Import Export Davies bit off the back doors as it was old hat and he was having none of it so you will have to keep canvessing Andrew for the pig or alternatively you could all go on diets and we could have the SPS instead ( skinny pig squadron ) cheers Buzzer.

Just found a replacement pig, and I am going to call it GEL ON very apt don’t you think, cheers JD.

John & Andrew
Saw a couple of the Volvo on a quick trip to Arras, Sorry but they really plain & dated now they’re white, Never been a fan of either Volvo or Scania, Daf for me but the Scania did look the biz, they would look real good in a convoy 10-4

Are you implying we fly about Gazzer, we just Gel On that’s all and as for Mappo he must have crashed and burned don’t here a peep out of him. On another subject I paid a visit to John “animal” Smith on Sunday he has had a little stint in hospital but is pretty much chair bound nowadays his son and partner are now living there with him so he does have some care plus regular local visitors who pop in to make sure he is ok very sad to see Buzzer.

Hi all, I was just thinking Buzzer, your “GEL ON” bit where does that originate from ? I have been told before I think from Mappo, (but can’t remember what he told me) but back in the days while pulling for Jameson’s on all the trailers it had “JEL” then trailer number “Jameson Europa Ltd” but we used to say “JEL ON” back then so who started it ■■? I always thought it was a Jamie saying as the saying JEL ON was used by Jamie boys too !!?!
Nice to see Mr Morrison catching on with the phrase "Tracey Island " now I know where that started ! :laughing:

Regards Jimmer

Hi Jimmer “GEL ON” means exactly that, in other words get your ■■■ in gear and don’t spare the horses, I do believe it is a local vernacular and is some thing which just stuck as with many of the nick names we have given to drivers over the years. Not only that all our trucks have had GEL number plates for some considerable time now, some on there 3rd and 4th new truck so that is relevant also cheers Buzzer.

Hi it is ■■■■■ I found this definition!!!

  1. gel
    Romany Gypsy word, meaning to go, or to leave. Romany is not a written language, so the exact spelling is not certain. Often used in conjunction with the word ‘on’, and can be used as an equivilent to ‘■■■■ off’ - i.e. ‘gel-on’.
    Used mainly by Romany Gypsys rather than Irish Gypsys, especially in the south of England.
    “We found a stopping place but had to gel when the gavvers turned up.”

“I swear boy if you don’t gel-on you’ll get yourself hurt.”

“Your gunna have to gel bruv, me old man’s on his way back and he’s on the warpath.”

Regards Pat

Gazzer will this do :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

cheers Johnnie

Hi Pat I here you are improving slowly so carry on the good work convalescing. Here is a little ditty I once learned.

Man he went to puth the gry, round the back of the sticka ma kye, along came the gabber mush and hel de man to pray, man he stripped of an gelled him in the purr. wel swop me daudy dad sir, can de man de cauld well .

This in English basically reads The man he went to tether the grey, round the back of the stack of hay, along came the police man and asked him what he was doing at which point he took off his coat and hit the policeman and blow me down he was out cold.
This is all useless really just a bit of fun, I went to Bartley School for the backward and we had quite a few Romanies attend there although we called them cackers, they would only turn up if they had nothing better to do. even when they left school some could still not read or write but they were sharp as a razor cheers Buzzer.

Cheers for that Pat and Buzzer , I’ll see what else I’ve got for you to look up Pat !!
Got to Gel now so buy 4 now !
