Pat Scorey does come in and see me every Thursday he is fine and 75 this year. John Pike was over here about a month ago had to sort out a divorce from Lynn he came to my house with his lady friend and we got Scorey P to come as well, John lives in Turin now.
Larry Fitzgerald is still on for Johnsons of Melksham, Ken Parke came to the yard about 9 months ago he is still driving I think doublemanning with his son out of London. Dave Tutt is now driving a tipper I believe and Allister Lane is still about not sure what he is doing though. We lost Wally Hawkins afew years ago R.I.P. Paddy still rings me waiting for a hernis op last time we spoke. havent heard from Phil Dibden for a while presume that he is ok in Weston Super Mare!
John Pike asked about Rick Paglia anyone know what he is doing? Last I heard was he was on for Atkins on containers but that was years ago.
Here’s a pic of a you Pat Scorey at the Simplon for you!
Regards Pat
cheers for that Pat lots of memories hearing those good old boys names. Glad Pat Scorey is still about. Say a hello to John Pike if you speak with him again. Must admit i thought he got divorced from Lynn years back. Does he still Drive for Detra?? Last time i saw Rick Paglia was as you said but when i saw him on Soton docks he was doing it for Securicor but that was about 7 yrs ago. I Do remember getting woke up by 1 of your drivers in Campogaliano 1 night Ian Beavis cos he needed water to tip over a scotsmans head that was on fire, No doubt you remember that occasion well. Your Scanny was well alight by that time, Ian was F… Lucky that night. Could of been fatal for him. William Mark Young trucks fault i remember. Soke to Ian about 2 months back , He’s fine and was looking for work on the mainland.

Hi Kev
No John Pike is no longer driving apparently they do not allow it in Italy after ac ertain age! No he never got a divorce and now he is getting a pension the Italian government did not look on his situation too kindly and were holding back some of his pension!
Yes remember the incident well only got paid out about a year later and then only because I brought back the William young truck and held it ransom!!! They then argued that as I wasn’t asked to bring it back they would not pay the transport cost, they said they could have sold it for same money over there! Needless to say it was a Lloyds sindicate insurance!! That was a bloody good truck as well if I remember right LAA was the reg ex Steve Mathews Truck originally.
