Bit of useless info here,but when we bought the Seddons and Guy’s new I had a bloke come and treat all the interior cavities with Waxoil type of stuff.I reckoned it did delay the onset of the Tin Worm for a number of years especially round the rearcorners of the cabs!! Cheers Dennis.
Was that what was called Zeebart (spelling) Richard Ford use to have all his done, Volvo’s and Scania’s too.

Mr Baker.Aye, and I can mind when you could go out on a Saturday night with a Ten Bob note and go t’t fust house flicks,then have 5 or 6 pints of th’ale and then int’t chip shop for a whale and tatie pit to eat on’t last bus w’omb! Wake up in’t morning and still have 5 bob on’t bedside table!!! Aye them wer’t day’s oo argh!!!
And listen to the Zeppelins flying over looking fer ta lakes thinking them were dams,those were the days with bread and drippiing,by eck what a lovely time,and all for a bag o scratchings.Makes one reet glad tha got a memory.
Master BakerThere’s nothing wrong with a bread dripping sandwich David my boy!! The problem is you can’t get any “reet proper” dripping these days!!Cheers Dennis.
You can from the Butchers in Leintwardine Dennis.I will put some in the post,should reach you by July.

Butchers shop is on the right as you pass through the village Chris,they are an abattoir as well,with another butchers shop in Ludlow.
There are still quite a few wagons that take a short cut through that way,its a bit narrow and twisty,but saves going through Leominster.
Cheers Dave.
Aye it were a grand life up in Milnthorpe when I were a lad,listening to those Guy Big J’s with the 240 rumbling up the street.
Made me right proud to be pushing me delivery bike with the basketful of Hovis up past that yard of Bewick Transport,seeing old Mr Bewick puffing on his cigar,gazing out of the window.Aye they were good ol days,be eck.
