Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

Hold on lads . I might need to check…the old brain cells not what they were.
Will email Steve Johnson and ask him.

Hi Gazzer,

Eric Rivers (R.I.P.) was never involved with Seabrooks,Mike Seabrook ran it Steve Johnson,Manco to his friends,together with Paul Bowring ran the Eastleigh office. I’ll try and put some pics and more info when I get back from Wick, where I’m trying to get an old 2011 case opened up to get compensation,and a bacon sarnie for an highly regarded friend of ours following his remarks to a Scotsman who hadn’t had a wash :blush:

Sent from my i phone in cell 13 Wick police station Scotland,wish they’d put the lights on it’s a bit black in here :unamused:
Regards
Richard

Richard.
You are The Sleuth , The Whole Sleuth and nothing but the Sleuth…

I forgot about Paul Bowring.

Talking of Wick.
I once tried to patent a device for supporting female breasts that had an internal light and at the push of a button would sing.
I was going to call it " The Candle - La bra "

Ark who talkin !!

Yep Jeremy probably was ! And proud of it, thems the days of the "Golden Era Of Transport " my input was short lived but loved every day of it ! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :smiley:
R Jimmer

I wondered why you wear a stetson hat and pointy toe boots Jimmer. Never did any of that kind of thing myself. However I can relate a small tale. Back in the early seventies I did two Milanos a week for three weeks. That was six trips. However I was working for Jimmy and I received exactly the same remuneration as if I had done the usual one.No more did I do any of that. I had wised up.Good learning curve.Still enjoyed my time with him. Lovely man. RIP Jim. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Kev, hope you are well.

Might be wrong, but sure it was Tony and Keith Barnard, think they were called K&AK Freight and pulled for Eurohaul. The F10/12 was a tag. They bought E156 OAD from FT which was ex Christiansen red / grey 112 Scania which was first owned by Ian Elkins. Yes I believe the son moved to 9can’t remember which is which moved to Denmark) He was mates with Keith (mappo’s bro)

Thanks horry will pass this on to Chippy he will be pleased someone new the answer.

Well gentlemen. I have just fallen out with Mappo. I have proved that he is a lousy liar. He has always tried to do one better. If I carried 25 tonnes he carried 30. If I drove 24 hours non stop He drove 26. The final straw came yesterday when I told him we were going to Teneriffe He saidhe was going to Eleveneriffe. I don’t believe him. Do you?. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Buzzer. I think its too late to sort it out with Mappo. He called me a silly old bar steward. I hate that word Silly. Maybe I can get in touch with the Wellow Wizard.Does he do No win no fee? I’m going to take this to the top. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Coincidence Charles that you should mention “take this to the top” that’s all Mappo kept on about, taking you to the top…not sure exactly what he meant by that, but I seem to recall that a cliff and wheelchair might be involved… :unamused:

Hello Dave. I’m sorry it has come to this. However it all comes down to my winning ways with the ladies. He said to me you might look like Steve McQueen and have an Adonis like body but what else have you got. I said a large personality. I rest my case. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Charlie I would be very careful if I were you especially as Dave said Mappo is going to take you to the top, Iv’e heard that for weeks now he has been building a huge bonfire in his garden and you maybe the Guy he has in mind to take to the top literally and its the 5th of November tomorrow so id’e stay locked in doors for a couple of days if I were you always looking after your well being mate, cheers Buzzer.
