Lovely pictures Andrew…here’s one taken over 40 years ago, on the old road heading towards the Blanc, somewhere around Bonneville, which I guess is by-passed now…

Hi Buzzer just spoke to Mappo and as usual he’s not got his laptop but passes his best wishes to everyone and he’ll be on the weekend, he says " one more mention of socks and sandles or shorts they’ll be a big flash and you’ll not see him for dust " !!! :smiley: :smiley: :laughing: :laughing:

Gazzer i have to tell you when i started in transport i definitely was universally challenged by all in sundry worried about all my loyal drivers running on the wire etc etc and dont tell me you dont know wot im’e talkin about everybody was at it the art of the game was not to get caught.By the way do you remember the motorbike cop on the RN13 Mr boulangier or somethin like that he could speak perfect English and used a CB radio to listen into conversations of home bound brits and a lot shot themselves in the foot got caght and paid the price well ahead of the game he was. Not today though with digicards no fiddlin now boys another Mary Hopkin moment! Actually that cop might have been on the RN137.anyway he was a clever B------d.
