Yeah if it is the ones your thinking of Andrew, you are right they were white with I think blue and red lettering. We lived down the south west of France for a few years, and they were always down there. When I worked in Dover years ago the used to come in and go out on every boat, a bit like Norbert.
cheers
John.
Would that be the same Giraud that owns Barbour European of Stirling? Head office appears to be in Gildersome,Leeds.
hi robroy, your right about the colour of giraud trucks, when i was pulling for ROBERT ARMSTRONGES i used to run into one of thier depots in paris, bit of a pigs earhole place to get to,i also used to see them down around the pierennis vineyards in southern france. those were the days.

We often serviced one of their long nose 110 Scanias at the agents in Wolverhampton, it was usually pulling a glassfibre wine tank and the driver would always fill a plastic bucket with red wine to help ourselves, it didn’t take many plastic cupfulls to give you a nice warm glow !
