has anyone got any information on ex m/e driver called joe toole ex pie ex eurorote ex kentvale plus others last heard of driving for spanish company

Hi Hughie OR Hoowie, hope you are well long time no see,i am long retired and living in south wales. Regarding Joe Toole he is now living in thailand but does some driving for a dutch company and is often weekended at Habay services in Belgium. Theyre are a few mentions of him in one of these middle east posts but i have not seen him for years. Do you ever see Dave Ketteridge or little Keith, the Bulgie trunker or Noel the Magpie in your travels?? Regards Jamie.

There is even a picture of him with his toole hung out and another driver helping him :laughing:

I spoke to him on the phone about 2 years ago but not heard of him since

the info on Noel on another thread was that he is retired now after working for Funstons for years.

I spoke to Joe last september time on Habay last year, he works 8 months of the year for a dutch company ( the company name slips me at the mo), was talking to him about his days as an O/D working out of Suttons yard in Oldbury and has been said he lives in Thailand, if i see him will mention to him about this site :smiley: :slight_smile:
