Hi Jim , Pat wouldent be playin golf over here mate it would be waterlogged, By the way who’s the signwriter, not Micky Mullins was it .
Hi Buzzer no its Pete Green did work for Sea Route, Shamara, Bob Cartwright, Pat, and numerous others brilliant signman used to work for Zillwoods as well, he’s still about Buzzer if you need any thing hand written, oh yeah he also did my old F88 which is on here some pages back.
Went over to see Pat today but the yard was locked up like Fort Knox but like you say he can’t be playing Goff today not in this muck !!! Shame really I had some posh biscwits, I would have even shared em!! Next time I’ll pop over yorn, bet you got bigger cups than him !!!

Thanks for the pics of Star Transporters, god that takes me back when they were in westquay road in the yard TIP was in. Its all built on now hotels and shops etc i remember the
puddles in that yard they were like lakes and some were a foot deep, cheers Rob.
Yes Jim it was Micky Sheppard that drove for me on nights but he was always tired mate.
Hi All

Mick Sheppard aka “The Blue Leader”.
Dennis White’s nipper went to work for Prince’s Commercials. Dennis had a Fiat 130 Coupe which I believe they were fitted with a Ferrari V6, a very rare car these days.
Hi Gazzer I can remember that Fiat parked in the yard !!! Where the IBIS and the Novotel are now

Bloody nora Mappo you must have gone to grammer school, by the way i didn’t think you were a churchgoer, but Charlie said something about worship on Davies thread and i cant believe that came from such a pure person as your goodself.
I,ll have you know Buzzer, that as a school lad i used to sing in the
church choir as well as being a campanologist…
Well i think thats what it was called anyway.
Dunno where i went wrong after that.
