And another angle…
Well atrocious weather yet again today and when it rains I make preserves, this is my first go at marmalade and I used Seville oranges, grapefruit and lemons. It’s dark and though I say it my self its taste is awesome so may have to hide this one away for personal use only, cant wait to have it on a slice of toast, Buzzer.

Buzzer. Is there no end to your talents? If you had gone into pickles and preserves ( Good name ) You could be the top producer in the country.mind you there would have to be some heavy bottling.Regards Charlie
The preserve looks “lush” a word my female neighbour uses

Tom Kerridge also uses that saying DBP but he is a chef on’t telly from the West country and he always says “proper lush” Buzzer.
PS. Charlie I would send a sample jar but think the courier has been arrested.
This truck an odd mark for the UK belonged to a sub contractor who did work for us in the early 90’s, Shaun Downs from Coventry drove an FH for the same outfit but with a 24 pallet frigo which was at times awkward as we had all 26 palleters and volume was the game with broccoli and lettuce carried back then, he later came and drove for us and was a good cab chef as many back in the day were, Buzzer.
yes buzzer i knew shaun and shirley and shauns brother and another harry driver geoff gillet they were coventry area lads .ihad nice 400 globetrotter after pegaso it was a fair truck for the day
Harry Mason… Just off the original A5, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes
his office was at bottom of his garden
Proper lush sounds good I have not heard of the chef
,
Believe or not, when I was on the meat for ROKLOD,/PULLEYNS, 1980S/90 some of the drivers new me as the" pressure cooker man" Id have her on a single burner, and do meat and veg… how I never cracked the screen I do not know, you used to here tales of blokes, taking out fillet from a side of beef, absolute ■■■■■■■■, it was like a man with one arm it was the first thing you would notice, they used to let me cut a bit off the neck, that was it. would I do the fridges again, if I knew what I do now, NO. the reason is, I am still owed about a years worth of hours, that you did for “THE JOB” sat in pack houses, all day may be 2/3 days ,then doing a full shift RALPHEY STYLE . I did love it .but we were moulded in to the mind set of OWNER DRIVERS. and you would be running the exact same job with them but not get their rewards ,THAT WAS MY ONE AND ONLY GRIPE .so was I a good company man probably not .did I like the excellent kit we drove .yes I did .
Another west country saying I used to here them say ,and there were a lot of west country fridge men was “where you too” I got it in the end.
There was a ex Puleyns man named KEVIN, from ALTON AREA I THINK,went owner driver two tone blues Scania, or greenish I forget ,fridge man I did not know his second name I have a feeling he may have subbed for you?

DBP we had a chap join us as UK shunter and he hailed from Newbury, we had 30 trucks back then and he found it hard to grasp every bodys names so called all “Nobby” and there after he was known by that name which stuck like glue Buzzer.
PS. by the way “Buzzer” was allotted to me from the days when we only had about ten trucks as I was constantly on the phone, if you can remember BT’s Buzby.

I thought that you were called Buzzer because you always have been as busy as a bee. Even now at the age of nearly 55 you always seem to be on the go.what is your secret. Can I buy an ounce? Regards Charlie
