0This is how close we came to catastrophe on Friday evening in the storm----- a 100ft 20 ton conifer just “shaved” the side of the bungalow and landed on the back lawn---- if it had been a couple of foot nearer it would have took out that side of the bungalow but Anne was sat watching tele in the lounge about 7 or 8 feet away so I can’t think of the consequences that could have befallen her !
Cheers Dennis.
Denzil I could call in and take those trunks away free of charge
Cheers Dan .
Aye one bloke’s disaster is another “Looter’s” “earner” 
!! But I reckon the job will be outside the scope of the Foden’s capabilities Dan’l 
Cheers Denzil

Morning John
Just to let you know I had a phone call from Bernie Thompson over the week end, I told him you were asking about him . He is now living in the South of France most of the time, but does come back to Ouisterham for a couple of months each year.

Does he remember me Cliff ? its a long time ago now and is he still with Maria, JD
Yes he did remember you John. Him and Marie seperated a few years back now . And he told me Marie passed away in June unfortunately. She was a very nice lady, at one time she was the manager of Truckline.
Before she got a lick of blue paint, the last motor I drove before retiring permanently to the office, Buzzer
Good evening Cliff , did Bernie Thompson used to drive for British International ?

Sorry for butting in but when I knew him in the early 70’s we both drove for PBC European Transport aka Public Benefit Coal co of Southampton and Cherbourg, me an AEC Mandator Bernie had a LHD Berliet French registered of which they had four, PBC had an office on the quay back then, Buzzer
No need to apologise, and you haven’t butted in , the Perpignan photo reminds me of a high profile case when an English driver was incarcerated for drug smuggling and the UK media ran the story as he was not present at loading and nobody is going to split open every pallet if loaded at a regular collection point with a reputable freight forwarding company to check the whole load such as ceramic tiles ,perishable and non perishable, textiles, shoes, textiles or machinery or whatever.
But the Douanes will not worry about that as we all know , it’s always the driver that gets the blame or the cartel do a test run or if caught, a far bigger load of contraband gets through while they are distracted by a smaller haul .
I remember Maria at Truckline and also Sophie. Who is emptying the bins around the dock now Bernie has retired and got rid of his Sed Ack bin lorries.
