Richard in them far gone years it was always beer first woman second, then as you got older that reversed and when you get even older it reverts back to how it wuz in the beginning, what stage are you at nowadays ? John.
Really thought this would of needed a tri-axle trailer, no straps or chains either. Amateur?
Boats aint what they used to be, made out of old bean cans just like Fiats of the seventies!
Hi not sure if this has been on before but a long gone Southampton Haulier Victory Transport.

Hi Johnfound this old pic of the New Inn before it became The Haywain, Iremember the hut at the back used to come out from Southampton to see bands play there on a Friday night some 40 years ago!!Regards Pat
Hi Pat, I also frequented that tin shed behind the Haywain back in the day, it was folk music Fridays, jazz on Saturdays and country and western on Sundays which is what I used to go to. It was also the place I met “The Boss” my lady in red, and we are still together after all this time so I must be doing something right, John.
Searching through some of my old pics came across these from the back room at the Wheatsheaf Shedfield from a few years ago don’t remember putting them on before!
Regards Pat

This is me in my youth taken just up the road from your house Pat in the field by the Haywain pub on occasion a day of Rustic sports and it was in 1971 that’s 43 years gone in a flash, wish I had a rewind button cheers Buzzer.
Hi JD…not spoken for a while… Hope all good with you and all the family.
I have to say that photo made me laugh out loud!! What a classic… You look like an original member of the Worzles. Or, even worse , a character from Benny Hill or ■■■■ Emery…I hope you got a prize mate.
A rewind button would be nice eh. Time does flash by doesn’t it…
I read through this whole thread recently and was amazed to read on a post from 2008 that Scorey P was 75 around that time?? That makes him in his 80’s now? I can recall my first meeting with him in Rouen… both of us on for PBC him in a split windscreen Daf and me the new boy in a mandator… We used to clear with SCAC was it? We had a meal in a cafe that was a regular haunt for drivers in the square with the tramlines…forget the name but someone will put me right? Pat was a fount of information and helpful, however, a little scary to me as a rookie! I remember a few incidents with the infamous lump hammer en route to tip…
Anyways, we have 40 cm of snow here so no chance of planting yet, Spring not far at now though.
Lady in red looking good. Cheers. balders…
Hi Pat hard to believe this was me, used to do this just for a bit of fun, one had to have a lot of bottle even on the back as I was, did this with a mate of mine from Whiteparish, he used to look after the bike and made lots of bits in ally as he worked for HCB Angus in Totton they made fire engines, don’t know if they are still going. We had a 650 Triumph engine bored out to 750 which was quite common in the day., also remember an ariel sqare four a Vincent 1000cc and then a chap from Southampton think his name was Jack Knight bought a brand new Kawasaki 350 triple bike just to get the engine as they would not sell it separately and that thing flew, cheers Buzzer.

Hi Stu that would be C.A.T. at Rouen we used to clear with, a guy called Michel was the agent and sometimes he would
come out and clear us at the routiers at Yvetot, handy if you were going up to Amien, saved going all the way into Rouen!
Cheers GAZ
Get on up there, Buzzer.

Hello Steve,
I used to work at Paladini’s Carisio in Italy and think I remember you, did you ever try to climb the ivy on the restaurant wall to get to a young ladies boudoir and fell from a great height ? If so you were with another chap from the Isle of Wight,who didn’t climb up because he was scared of heights,and was in love with Valerie in France 
Also when you left Jamesons didn’t you drive a Turboliner for a really nice chap whose name escapes me !!
Regards
Ricardo
