Not the furry ones I might add…I wore them once and couldn’t,t get on with ,em…so if anyone is
interested in a pair of 30 odd year old clogs, as new, don’t hesitate to contact TIR Tone c/o The worn out and
knackered Lorry drivers Hostel, Derby road.

Think that truck may have been loaded with brewers grains used for animal feed, this was the spent leftovers from the beer making industry and James did a lot of that, but I may be wrong cheers Buzzer.
PS. My old man used to go to Strong & Co in Romsey and collect the very same stuff as did many farmers.

Pat…are you thinking of Dukes Mills… ![]()
Thanks for that!
It must have been a different company at Bishops Waltham then!
When I put a sleeper on my old AEC Mercury I used part of an old yellow cab to extend it, I am sure the yellow cab doors had James in red on them!!!

This one is from todays Evening Echo, Buzzer

Robert Armstrong had GHO94*N possibly 9N as an F88. But I cant remember George Thorne’s and Nick Vospers. Very close to that plate of 6N. If it was an Armstrong vehicle then the air-con was added after they got rid of it. Most of their 4 wheelers were F88’s if not all.
