And it’s all true I tell you. I’m not sure who that is. The nearest I can think of is it’s a much older version of me.
Thanks Gazzer. That made Rose laugh That takes some doing I tell you.

Had to move an old filling cabinet that I bought years ago when they packed up…
Should bring back a few memories…I wonder how many Southampton companies were “filed” in this one…

Only shipped out thru Southampton twice as a nipper with Colin Glasspool
all my trip were from Pompey on Townsend, P & O & Brittany. Have a lapel badge in my collection from Townsend Thoresen
Badger you mentioned Colin Glasspool well I bought an F88 from him, it was behind a shop in North Baddesley think it sold hardware and that would have been circa late 70’s XBF500M a 240 engine in her as was tutheren, the picture below is in France somewhere on our way to Italy. The names on the trucks were “The Incredible Hulk” which I bought from Meachers OTR37M & “Yanky Doodle Dandy” from Colin cant tell which is which here but Stan Mathews RIP was driving the other one along with me, cheers Buzzer.

Got a feeling this Scania once belonged to us at DIT, may be wrong though, Buzzer.
That looks a bit like the truck stop at Modane, on the French side of the Frejus tunnel. Robert

that the lorry I went in we tip An EAST trailer in Fos sur Mer then Colin reload Apples from Peyrolles for the Old Spitalfields, after He sold the F88 I remember he went to Partrans, He also work for us for 6 months driving my old DAF 2300 before we sold it. Colin & my Dada work at Conoco at Micheldever before they both set up on there own in 74ish.
I think Colin still lives in Baddesley but on the other side of the road & traffic lights, He was in a motorised wheelchair the last time I saw him.

Hi that’s my dad Colin glasspool he still lives in North Baddesley and he would love to be able to talk to some of you drivers that knew him as he’s been in a wheel chair for many years now and also been quite poorly but he’s on the mend now. I have a few photos of that lorry I will figure out how to up load them on here.

Would that be Dave Emery who was at Jameson’s in the early seventies? Transport manager. Or am I getting feeble? Regards Charlie
Sorry about the last picture on twice.All the metal ones are engraved on the back Happy days. 
No stopping me know.This was the charity C B club Eddie Huntly and his wife ran i was SB 152 still got my number plate there must still be more of you out there that were members.He even had some of the french drivers in Le Havre signed up.
Kev that first medallion belongs to Tony Mapson for it was given to him when he first shipped out of Southampton before Townsend Thoreson so god knows what year that was took three days to get to Le Havre if the wind was blowing in the right direction and it was oar assisted if it was really bad, he lies about his age you know Buzzer.
