On boat to Calais en route to Holland
Balders thanks for the modelling pics although you do look a lot older but that can be said of us all I suppose, also thanks for the " Katy " storm you sent us last night boy did it blow, don’t think Wrighty got the worse of that one just us in the South, loads of dead wood blown out the tree’s but luckily no serious damage here to report.
Shame we wont be getting many more pictures from “snapper” Morrison as he is working his notice and leaving for greener pastures again, cheers Buzzer.
Did manage a day off in Folkestone too
Some others parked in Folkestone for weekend too a few Brian Yeardly & Grampian
You up to DK again Snapper? Glad to see Folkestone still open, had some good weekends there back in the day, and not too extortionate to park there. Am surprised ‘they’ haven’t found it by now and ruined it.

Yesterday was a bit wild up here, wind, rain, hailstones, thunder and lightning and a little bit of sunshine. Most of our available buildings were full of sheep and lambs, thankfully today as been a bit better one or two heavy showers but mostly dry.
Something we are trying for the first time this year are lamb macs, and so far they are proving very useful and being made of bio degradable plastic should eventually drop of the lambs and disappear. We are about a third of the way through at the moment, so hopefully by the weekend we should have the job bossed, will post a few pics when I get the chance to take some…
Are you carrying on driving Snapper ? or have you seen the light and bailing out…
Cheers Wrighty.

Yep there’s none of us getting any younger although they do say " you’re only as old as the woman you’re feeling " …
I couldn’t possibly comment on that.
I think Katy went a bit East of us here. Normally them storms come right through us on the way from the States and then straight into Wrightys yard.
I did see that there was a gust of 107 at the Needles. You wouldn’t want to be coming round there in the old Viking 4 eh! She’d roll on wet grass that one…
Are there plans afoot to initiate a new company photographer?
Hi Andrew a very show of photographs again, love the spatula, ?outstanding shot of my old company’s truck i worked for quite a while ago however they were very happy fridge years,also using the trusted ch-eraue trailers.
if you were due a new trailer you would ship solo poole /cherborg. drive to avranches with the cheque for about 48.000 French franks and collect the new trailer mostly meat carriers…then you would be away ,maybe 4/5 weeks.they had 3 blue books…and 1 pink…my first top line DAF was a P 37 TDP…THE DOGs back then.i think it was 37…pdp.
I missed the post where Andrew is on the move, well i did it all the time some company’s i went back to 3 times, the grass is never greener, fridge work is/was mostly the same but if a certain company did more GREECE and i wanted to i would move there, then when the time was up for me, i would move on,that is why i was not a well know driver of any particular company. i was allways welcomed back, tiresome the traffic office felt diffent ,but they were not the boss… and also you take more experience to another company…a.lways valuable back then…pdb
PDB don’t know where " snapper " is off to where the grass is greener, they must have got the Nitram fertilizer on early. In Andrews Favour at least he has worked his proper notice unlike some we have had lately, they sign a contract when they start but don’t often stick to it so good on him for that.
Wrighty you will have to be on your metal now with the picture job as " snapper " is going to leave a big void. Sounds like you got the lambing under control despite the weather, like the sound of biodegradable jackets for the lambs, cheers Buzzer.

Sad news about “snapper” moving on enjoyed the photo’s of his travels around Europe, I will keep try and keep up with some photographic content(probably not as glamorous as His) here are a couple taken today. The weather has been mixed again with snow this morning and heavy showers with occasional sunshine, all the lambers are now in the shed so that makes life a bit easier.
Cheers Wrighty.
Davis f88 best looking Volvo in my opinion ever regards rowly.

Thank you Rowly even better when we had her she worked all over Europe like they were supposed to do not just for show Buzzer.
Hi BUZZER,working your notice is /was always the correct thing to do,i would think Snapper is off to another EURO truck outfit as the impression i got was he was like us all “its a way of life”…still have doubts about the spatula,maybe be it was a kind of F— you syndrome, wind up.not for me to worry about ehh he takes bloody good pictures.
MRS Wrighty looks as if to say, “right you lot whos next” but you can wait while i have a coffee and ■■■…well deserved i bet, dedication is the word for all farmers who take the trouble to look after so many…
I would like some advice on how to post photographs from PHOTOBUCKET TO TRUCKNET. using windows 10.
ie i selected the photo i want ,from photobucket, left click, and 4 options appear ,i select copy…then a box right hand side comes up and i select that comes up with a yellow strip and says processed ,but just flashes on and off , I GO BACK TO POST A REPLY[trucknet] right click paste ,and all that comes on the page is 2 lines of the photo number and where it is from , all data. no photographappears, it used to before with windows 7. i do understand this is not the right place to ask tech questions however i sort of get that i am getting to know some of you and we are all on the same page ,thank you.
Hi Buzzer,
One I found on internet/ebay, motors are a credit to you and the lads, any chance of a photo of a dirty one ? as I have never seen one!! Cheer’s Pete
Hi Pete we have always spent a great deal of time and money keeping the fleet clean, Hori my eldest son used to do it in the 90’s but is now in the office but he was the best truck washer I know very thorough even opened the doors and did the insteps. Image is every thing with frigo’s as has been said before on here.
Dispatcher good effort for an amateur not easy to draw trucks, do you ever look at BMA Finland’s input on these threads he is also very talented at drawing trucks.
Wrighty plain sailing now there all inside eh but still don’t envy you with the hours you put in, soon be time to go back to driving and have a bit of a rest. Ran my steers through the crush today to sort what ten I am keeping and which ten will go, took quite along time on my own but was checking they all had two ear tags. Minced the last fodder beet today as well so they will be hollering tomorrow, cheers Buzzer.
