Horry
Dont think we have ever meet I have meet your dad way back when he meet drivers (Tutty, Roy Smith, Zebede days)
When Lts moved into Anderson road Harline (Bob Nunn & Colin Harris) were next Door, Eurohaul were still opp gate, Jamesons might have gone by then but there was always trailers parked round the back as not enough room in Lorraines,

When Lts office was in Oxford street parking wasn’t to bad with my little 7.5tonner but when got my 1st artic we used to park trailer everywhere Greenwoods Rownhams, Offers & in both ferry ports Soton & Ports

Horry:
Good evening Badger. Can remember the transcon when I was a nipper, pretty sure Mo Baker ended up with it? Can also remember the colour scheme of Morfair. Their yard was on the corner by the top of Peewit hill on the road to Kanes Hill where Ivor Truman lived. Me and my brothers mate lived down there when he was a kid. Nice to see old pics of LTS. We moved into their old yard in Andersons Road 20 years ago this September. Hardly recognisable now when I walk past it on match days, come to think of it, that whole area. How time flies!!!

Keith…Ozard, now, there’s a name from the past. Any one know if he’s still around ?

Had a small amount of powder snow in Southampton this morning, not much on the way to Wales we are now on the Irish Ferries Isle of Innishmore out of Pembroke as Stenna cancelled their crossing from Fishguard due to the bad weather!!

Just anounced rough seas on our crossing and we won’t dock in Rosslare till gone 7.30pm and we are right at the back!! Nothing changes :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Good start to our Irish trip!!!

Regards Pat

To be honest John still not had a drop of the black stuff but will later today!

After the long journey all Sue wanted to do when we got here was get to bed as she was so tired!

Just had a lovely breakfast weather looks great outside, just getting ready to have a walk around Kilkenny.

Here are a few pics waiting for ferry, Nolan coming off and view from our room of the Castle.
