Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

wrighty:
I bet that money is burning a hole in your pocket, won’t be long before the shed is full again… :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Spose I do feel a tad redundant but it aint burning a hole just yet as wont get paid till Friday, Buzzer :wink: :wink: :wink:

Hiya Buzzer, how’s it going down there, see Wrighty’s beat me to it with the comments, but I think you want to make sure all at Tracey Island has a good Crimbo (shhhhhh), and thats why you let the stirks go so soon, also your thinking of the long lies you can have by not having to be up early to feed an bed them. Dont delay in mucking out as something will take your fancy, and you’ll be out n about in that new truck to bring em home. Weather rotten up here too but not as bad as Yorkshire. Bobs

Hey up Bob we don’t do Crimbo partys any more down here as most want to go home, we do give em a box though (a begging box that is) no only joking but for sure Christmas goes on far too long and the first sign of there wives threatening them with decorating they all want to come back PDQ but that’s understandable, cheers Buzzer.

A chance to see Guy Martin drive the first tractor at over 100mph on Channel 4 this evening at 9pm, Buzzer

RIP, Tony

Not sure if i ever met Tony. He sounded a real character reading his posts. RIP.

Very sad day for all the Davies family to hear of the passing of “TIR Tone” as he was known when he worked for us, first met Tony south of Paris when he was working for Transport Services, he had picked up a trailer in Cherbourg that another driver had dumped but it had three flat tyres and he had used all the running money to get them fixed, not knowing him but as it happened I went to school with Barry Squibb who he was driving for. Lent him enough cash to do his trip and Barry paid me back when I got back and the rest as they say is history.
Many a time Horry and ■■■■■■ our boys have lost a roast spud or two of there plates at the house when Mappo turned up on his way to ship out and the Boss made him up a dinner or getting off a boat in the morning and calling for breakfast but that’s how it was back then every thing run from the kitchen moving the fax machine out the way when we ate, he was a proper old school driver and loved the job and he was our first real International driver.
He will be missed by many on here and has now gone to play the one arm bandits in the sky, RIP mate from all the Davies family.

Never met the guy but read his posts on here and he seemed a real character.
