See your Clacks Buzzer, where is your wallet on a chain ?
Kerbut never had one of them, all your money in one place never a good idea, used to hide it different places just in case. Best one I heard of was Phil Grant from Poole way he always had his stuffed down the front of his jeans and told me if there quick enough to grab my ball’s without me getting them then they can have my wallet. Buzzer.
Buzzer i would have bet any money that no way would you have had a stupid wallet on a chain or god forbid furry clogs but some did. i taught my small grand kids the same nice and tidy, and their parents,now,wasted energy,teenagers.
Kerbut if your in the south of Spain, keep your eyes peeled for a “flying red fly swat” ,sat in a window screen in a truck.as our roaming photographer is not responding to calls ,unless the company he is on for, do not want loading /unloading destinations revealed to any job grabbing companies… pdb
PDB our ex roving " snapper " is on for PTM seen him on FB but he is pulling one of those new fangled silent fridges with huge 44 foot side doors that appear to be floppy, the compressor engine must be concealed up in the chassis as it is not visual in the shots I have seen, there does’nt seem to be a fuel tank either or at least I could’nt see one.
Breakfast will be early tomorrow as some one always gets up to soon on a sleepover, then there having bacon / brioche toasted sarnies me think I will stick to my porridge and toast. When there here they don’t stop eating no matter what it is, sometimes you have to put the brakes on, rather keep them a day than a week, Buzzer.
PS. Old "Snapper " worked his full notice so when he gets peed off he might return, one driver we have had must have come back at least a dozen times in the past but always left us the proper way, had more come backs than Arnie.
Hi all been busy of late new job n all that they say a change is as good as a rest lol
As Buzzer mentioned I’m on for PTM doing a bit of variety grass is a nice shade of green at moment lol
Just got on boat to Santander & this is my chariot.
Regards Andrew

pete smith:
What would cause this, fitting rails to a standard reefer or overloading? I know it has nothing to do with Davies Int but as they run fridges I thought I would wack it on here, Cheer’s Pete. All I can tell you is one has to be careful with swinging meat as if you corner at speed it would have you over. With your picture either this has happened or the front corner of the trailer has struck a bridge or some un forgiving object and caused this failure and as you say it may be a lighter weight trailer as with rails and hooks they are considerably heavier and less payload than a conventional fridge cheers Buzzer.
Hanging Meat will also push you along a bit under emergency braking, When I worked for a Slaughter house, a guy in a LR disco thought he’d brake test me, all because I was adhering the to the 40mph speed limit, he jammed on and so did I, I started to stop, then the hanging meat hit the bulkhead and I started going forwards again, as the rear window of the Disco disappeared under the bottom windscreen line, he realised he needed to boot it “prick”, that was a close call
My Fridge was a Gray and Adams, I reckon one of the best on the road. IIRC, this 5 axle out fit weighed in about 19 tonnes empty. so not exactly a light weight, but it was more than 10 years ago, so I might be remembering wrong.
Can only think that the picture is showing what must have been a catastrophic failure, but what caused it is anybodies guess
Farming today out to walk the field to see if any thing is moving and it is , will make wrighty envious and you can see by my depth marker stick how it is doing, also have rented some fifty acres of council owned land very close to where I live, been after it for four years and now have succeeded in getting it, they don’t deserve to have it as they do nought to it. The gate posts have moved or fallen over and the don’t shut there are fences but have tree’s that have fallen on them and its not repaired and they say they have no money its criminal as it was tax payers money who bought it in the first place.
Wrighty have seen a herd dispersal advert some 60 Lim X cows and calves being sold at auction in Newark Market soon with a further 30 later when they calve, the herd manager whom with I have spoken is retiring and there is no one wanting to take it on so may pay a visit and have a go, depends on the trade of course but think as its a dispersal there should be some good things there.
PDB always liked cooking and stayed after school for lessons, nothing to do with Miss Mallows the teacher who to put it mildly was well endowed and she used to lean over you when instructing. The first thing I attempted was a platted French stick but having killed the yeast the thing came out the oven like rock and you could have knocked some one out with it, since then I have improved some what and make jam and do me pickled shallots and remember in our farm house back in the day a lot of preserving was done for the winter months.
Acceptme don’t think " snapper " will stop taking pictures just because he has jumped ship, just have a snicky feeling he may be back but you will have to be patient and see what happens but hope you enjoy the other varied subjects this thread now has Buzzer,
Hi Buzzer plenty of fire wood to stacked for the winter,looks like a old girl has been about a long time. i like trees,loved climbing them.YES the grass looks good however i am not a grass man[ not the smoking one] get some Hereford stores in there that will fatten them up.
You have your doubts about "Snapper"he will know in the first week if he has dropped a goo lie. then take a month to realise it then back to the fold ,are you goingto run a book on the out come.when i used to move around it was not for the truck or the cash, i did not give a monkeys what i drove, it was for the places ,the companies went to…
As for the cooking, yes i was in to self catering on all the companies i worked for…never a Router man, all that ■■■■■■■■ around the tables ,plenty of bread and plenty of red diesel and the boyos were happy,i have said before, in all my years driving in Europe no more than ,many many other men, i probably had 4 meals out. if i parked up on a busy truck park [private i would always pay the boss, of the restaurant or leave money over the bar for them…
and yes they are my dumplings!!.. I cook all the main basic meals at home ,with a couple of cans and enjoy it…not for every one i realise,as for baking not really tried it could do with your old teacher perhaps…well she will be getting on now ?
Haaa the older ladies bending over when we were 13/14 sap was starting to rise,i am just writing my history from 9 years old and i am now about at 14 years the old a butchers boy, with the old bike and basket and i soon learnt to keep the basket on my knee and move back off the door step so they would have to bend down to collect their meat out of the basket. my god,if my mother ever knew…pdb.
Evening Buzzer
Your grass is doing well have you got any fert on yet ? ours is like a bloody wet billiard table, snow last night not a bad day today but a cold wind.
Sat watching the Antiques Road show four sleeping dogs and a orphan gimmer in front of the wood burner, back to work tomorrow for five days of rest and recouperation…
Cheers Wrighty.
PDB you mentioning bikes got me thinking, that cookery teacher I had Miss Mallows would be getting on a bit now if she is still about and if she is those chest muscles will surely have dropped a fair smidgeon, had a mate who’s mum had a very large chest and she used to ride her bike to the shop and post office, it was down hill going but up hill on the way home, there was a flat bit away from the shop front and I swear once she got the momentum up her ■■■■’s rested on her knees and there was no stopping her even up hill, at a glance the speed she got up to you would have sworn she was on an NSU quickly but of course she wasn’t pure weight down on them pedals, my mate was well over six foot as a teenager and reckon he was breast fed till he was thirteen, oh the memories we have of our youth, cheers Buzzer
