Couldn’t resist!! got to keep the quality up Boyo!! We did haul a bit of steel over the years,mainly imported stuff from the Thames wharfs,Purfleet,Dartford and Rainham and Dagenham ect…Also rebar from Sheerness,but only a fraction of what you lads hauled at Joints. Paper,Pulp and all manner of paper products,now your talking our lingo! That was our speciality.Cheers Dennis.This was the shot i meant to put on the motor is parked by the Rugby Club on Shap Rd. in Kendal.
