Don’t know Dennis,never been to an Eisteddfod.Harry probably knows more than either of us.I think he was married to a female from Porthmadoc,don’t think the beer would interest him.They would surely have a bottle of malt lying around 
.
Cheers Dave.

If "H"and me were invited I’m only there to carry the “relics” in a Morrisons carrier! the contents are secret but I can divulge them to you Dave1 They are half a bottle of Malt (in case the hosts are a bit tight with the hospitality) a half eaten bacon sarnie circa The JungleCafe 1962 and a bottle of cold tea from Hilltop Blythe circa 1959(no sugar) oh! and a 24volt bulb and a Dolly Parton video! Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Now lets get a few things straight, firstly my first old lady was from Penmaenmawr still lives close i believe and Dennis here was me thinking the “D” stood for driver but you had forgot to add the super.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
I was only about fifty miles out and they are both by the sea.At least at Penmaenmawr you were a bit nearer to the bigger places.Although Porthmadoc is nice.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Just hope Dennis can play a musical instrument the “fiddle” will do, and i can render a couple of verses of saspan bach (spelling) we should be a hit at the Eistetfodd (spelling) we should go down a bomb or should that be get bombed out.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Dennis, and the rest of the Guy Big J followers. I was at a function last night and was talking to the son of a well known local haulier.I asked him had he any pics of their lorries that I could borrow,to post on the Welsh Border thread,he said yes going back through the various lorries they have owned in the last 50 years.To cut a long story short,he said do you remember the big J we used to have.I said no I didn’t realise they had one,he said we had one with a gardner 8 cylinder engine,I said an 8LXB,he said yes there was only 40 made.I told him about this thread,he said he doesn’t use a computer,but will lend me a picture of the lorry plus the log book.I told him about the Smith of Maddison claim,he said yes SOM had 39,we had the other one.Will post the pic and log book as soon as I get them.
Cheers Dave.

Whoooa can’t wait am standing by with a bottle of single malt to dash o’er the fells and console Dennis to be truthful i’ve never even heard mention of a Big "J " being fitted with anything other than Rollers and ■■■■■■■ and we had a lot of them and came into contact with loads of them in other depot’s but it looks like we are going to see the “dinosaur” at last, bring it on.

This isn’t a wind up Harry.This chap has two 8LXB engined lorries,an Atki and a B series ERF in his shed,he is a keen restorer of lorries.I can’t remember a few of the lorries he mentioned them having,but I was out of circulation for a while after my accident.But hopefully have the stuff to scan soon.
Cheers Dave.

Never mind been not so well Dave I think I’m losing the will to live!!! I just hope you aren’t on the “wind up”!!! sounds like you were at a right “■■■■ up”!! Your old mate had one 8LXB Big J----well OK so far----but SOM had the other 39 I find very difficult to swallow!!! over what period were they built/delivered or maybe they were "knocked out " on nights by the Guy top management all in one batch maybe!!! Tin hats and fixed bayonets at the ready!! Right lads stand to,wait for it,wait for it!!!right run for your life ,every man for himself!! Trev H should have an interesting in-put into this thread!Cheers Dennis.
