Hi Buzzer,
did they do Howards Way at Hamble , looks very nice there , we have looked at Lee on Solent to retire to , cheers Alan.
Hi all, thought it was about time that I commented on the new additions to the fleet.
They definitely look the dogs do dahs…gi us a job. 
Only joking, too bloody old and infirm now for all that.
Had a breakfast one day last week at Avonmouth with one of your drivers…Matt Newman.
He was on a 24 off.
We did do a few miles and I must admit did a bit of reminiscing.
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Ps. Still reckon these had more character.
Hi Tony yeah I’ll second that !! Hope you only eat one breakfast !
I think when I do that late type Scannie I’ll do it in the old two tone blue
Regards Jimmer
Hi Noddy360 as it happens they did a lot of filming for Howards Way at Hamble and at Bursledon where I live, in fact some days they used to film at our local church and in the Elephant boat yard and we used to go and have a nose to see what was going on. As for Lee on the Solent very nice place but very busy in the summer, I do venture down there with the horses if we are doing a longer jog out.
Mappo just think how many flags you could hang in the windscreen of one of those new skoda’s , not so sure they would look so good in two tone blue I think that was better on the older style motors of yesteryear on them it was deffo the muts nuts. Eating the tarmac over breakfast now that’s what I have come to expect from a burned out and crashed ex TIR man, you didn’t date Mary Hopkins did you Tone ?
Cheers Buzzer.
Hi Buzzer, your old trucks were the Bizz in the Blue’s ( I think there’s a song there 
) but I’m gonna show you later what one of the new’ns looks like in the “blues” so watch this space !!
R Jimmer
You think them Skoda’s are big till you start unloading on to this old tub, cheers Buzzer
Crikey Buzzer! Your annual publication must be full of publicity shots like this for the old “Blue Chip” brigade. The old adage " He must be good, because ■■■ is using him, we better get him to service us!"

If only it was that simple Gazzer, as well you know it don’t matter how good you are and how good your service is there is always some ■■■■■■ with a sharp knife only too willing to cut the rate and your throat at the same time only to find they are not there three months down the line because they haven’t got a clue on costs from the outset, they just naff it up for the sensible men in the job, happy Xmas Buzzer.
hi buzzer you and the davies brand have been around a long time . companies are shrewd these days
they know what they are getting for their money, when you are dealing with the cream of the bunch you
have to give the service which you and the boys always do . as you say there are a lot of people out there
that would cut the price or even match it but to give the service year in year out is another matter . you have
proven that you can come up with the goods when asked to do so , very important these days, keep up the
good work. the new skodas look the dogs do- das merry xmas to you and good year for 2014.but has Andrew
got his xmas pressie yet because we could use a few photos !!!
best regards dennis
Christmas nearly here, if they are all back in the yard before the 25th, how about lining up all the trucks for a Christmas pressie picture or two if time allows ?
Wishing a Merry Christmas to all on this thread and a prosperous New Year to you all too ! 
The Dark Side To Woman.
A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the most perfect
shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third every
thing was reduced by 50% when her phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her
that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in a critical condition
in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that
she’d be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was
shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques. She decided to get in a couple more
shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the morning,
finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice, compliments
of the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband, feeling guilty, she
she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husbands
condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, "you went ahead and finished your
shopping trip didn’t you, I hope your proud of yourself ! While you were out for the past
four hours enjoying yourself in town, your Husband has been languishing in intensive care,
its just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last
shopping trip you ever take. For the rest of his life he will need round-the-clock care,
and YOU will be his carer ! The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed.
The lady doctor then chuckled and said I’me only pulling your leg, he’s dead, now show me
what you bought.
nice one, just read that to the old trout and she is still giggling now!
