Richard is a keen snapper and with his dog Ben knowing that when the camera gets picked up walkies are a certainty, they are regulars alongside the A1(M).

Guten Morgen Pete
Thanks. Hopefully he’ll see it positively [emoji3] The rumour that I really like Scanias is all fake news. I’ve discovered the source and the FBI and NSA are on the case.

Hi Pete
Never thought of that. Fergie too much of a gentleman to do that. But if pushed to breaking point, then who knows. Thanks for the tip.

I would like to thank all the people who’ve contributed to this thread during my absence, very much appreciated lads, cheers!

Don’t believe a word Herr Sutherland says Pete, every time he sees a Scanny, he needs a change of nappies, much to the disgust of Frau Sutherland…

Ta for the Scammell Oily, you know how to make me 'appy

Right, on with some good news, I’ve found another shoe box filled with stuff from the past… some have been posted on another thread with a more “French” gesture to it, but they fit on perfectly here I reckon
