Good evening Buzzer. I’ve got too much going on at the moment. What with the Kickboxing

The Rugby training. And of course my ■■■■■■ work. I’ve got very little time for anything else!

Looking forward to the Bash. I’m going to buy all my friends a drink. Shouldn’t cost me a lot eh?

Hope all is well with you and yours. Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Gerbil don’t put anything, I just done mine and think it better to put nought they are more interested in breaking hours and dangerous driving and if that were the case none of us would have a licence today. All on a digit card nowadays as far as hours were concerned , personally I liked the old logbooks especially when you had two you could always get home. Used to carry a little six inch ruler to do the lines straight then when you got an inspection they thought he’s neat and tidy and would not think of going over time, MH moments there Kev, cheers Buzzer. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Only two? My introduction to the evil arts was at Ilkeston Haulage when I stopped at a cafe just outside Hull with an old hand on the job. I was desperate to eat but he wouldn’t order till we had sorted the log sheets (not books). The table was covered in different sheets each telling a different story. As long as you had the ‘current’ one to hand you were ok, but there was no defence against a ‘silent check’. Fortunately, never had one of those. :smiley:

Salut Robert76: Montez les photos ici. Nous asperons! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Hi Harvey,

I’ve been running to Belfast a lot recently so see a few Mc Burney trailers, and always think of you the other side picking them, enjoy your retirement you’ve earned it.

Thanks Richard,
When you say you run to Belfast, do you live in Ulster or south. Harvey
