There was a valid reason for that Rigsby.
Tubby was an avid lover of whisky, and i mean SERIOUSLY so, he used to drink it neat out of an old tea mug. It mattered not what name / brand it was, whatever the local Tesco’s had on special or any bottle one of the drivers was foolish enough to leave laying in their cab. So, the heavily greased overalls kept his bodily evaporation down to a minimal level and as such the blissful effect of the whiskey lasted much longer !!!
Tubby was another of lifes great characters, i have many a happy memory of times involving him.

In earlier days Tubby was in partnership with a chap called Wally Scrivenor, they traded as H & S Tpt.
I wondered at the time why it was H & S ( Hart and Scrivenor ) and not Scrivenor + Hart International Transport, as that would of had a little ‘twist’ to it !!
Steve…
You are correct on both counts Mr Gray !!
The Foden is sign written with h&s. I’ll post one of it in Braintree carnival…probably the wrong way round as can’t seem to get the fotos on straight…mind you makes the number plates harder to read, not such a bad thing hey !!
Braintree carnage
Another carnival !!
And another!
Nice to see a couple of the pictures up the right way, they were making my neck ache…anyway, never knew him, but knew the company, and often saw the trucks around.
Braintree’s Finest Haulage company !
Thought that was Mr Prince
