I was scoffing a pizza the other day with someone who mentioned a “calzone” and did I know what it was?
My first encounter with a “calzone” was in Milano. Rattle some brains here…
We used to clear something in Milano and once your paperwork was in, off down the road to a bar that you walked up a few steps into, it was long and narrow, all glass and mirrors. Here they did a BIG latte machiato and where I first had “pizzetta” for breakfast. A square pizza slice. They also did take away “calzone”. This wasn’t a me and Sonya thing, others of us went there too. Did we clear TV’s temporarily somewhere for a while before we went to Rogoredo?
Hi Gazzer, are you sure the bar you mention wasn’t, at Rogorado ■■?
I,m pretty certain that I,ve been in there with you…BUT I could be wrong, well we were
normally knackered on arrival there, after just having a couple of hours kip at Aosta on the way down.
PS…nice pics Pat, I dunno where you keep finding them…well apart from Montys of course.

Sorry no I do not know who owned them!
I do know that the transport manager was Ron Hatch!
Regards PatAnd a really nice bloke he was Pat, l drove for them at one point. The Depot manager was Len Seldon, ex Hill, as were a few drvers and fitters. Good company, taken over by Ameys, then Grenwoods…
I think that was Len Seldon who lived in Botley, up Winchester Road, Fergie? I was very friendly with his son Paul at one time and always remember Len as a nice old boy…
It could have been Tony. It was a main road and when you walked to it on the right, it came up on the right. I’m sure R&A have been there too.
I know you preferred to buy from the little Piaggio van that arrived in the street outside just before clearance, buy a tupperware full of salad type stuff or some small fish. Health living man that you were then.

Evening all, hope you’re all enjoying the better weather and the lighter evenings…also hope that the sands of the Sahara didn’t dirty your vehicles to much. 
Pat… I did my Beachmasters course about 18 months ago with the team from Oil Spill Response, that’s a mighty interesting job they have…if you don’t mind travelling, foreign food an getting dirty.
over in Facebook land a picture and mention for Gazzer and the Joker turned up last week and low and behold today a picture of Jimski’s fence appears, slightly obscured by a Southern Transport Scania.
Not Truck or Southampton related…made me chuckle…
Nana, Nana, Nana, Nana, Batman…

Have a couple of friends on OSR and they would agree with your comments. 
What thread was that on nilocekyd?

Pat if he’s “backing Beavers” he’s doing it wrong. And better not get caught either. Jim.
