Depart Dieppe 04:15, arrive Colmenar 23:00 the same day 1900km and no it wasnt at 90kph! Oh and breakfast (steak deuxs ouefs} on the N10 Tony, I think it used to be called the “Atlantique” just north of Bordeaux, the one of only a few places we could eat on a sunday. We used to park and leave our headboard lights on!

Mappo Think that guy in the photo is Simon he worked out of the
Hilton depot . When I saw you Monday morning at the traffic
lights M271 I just finnished another hard nights work :laughing:

mappo:

while ?. Seemed to disappear then, or do you know different ?

dreva:
bi used to come into longs in bradford with psl it was clothes from portugal i think :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Your right Dreva been in to longs loads of times with BI and PSL loads always
first thing in the morning 7am not being an early morning person tried to get there the night before. I used to walk up the alley way by their yard as there was a pub up there couple of pints and a meal. I think the guy in the warehouse was a old bold guy with glasses. Then in the canteen for breakfast . Then if we were m/t would reload at Fairfrieght Bradford groupage for Paris or Transflash opposite RSPCA if you were there overnight used to get woken up in the morning at feeding time, guy in the warehouse was a nice guy used to go for a drink with him in the evening. If you were unlucky would send you to ICI heywood used to take the whole day .

Hi guys, My late partner, Alex used to be with BI and think you know we worked with PSL for Brintons Carpets in the 90’s.
Hi Liz sorry to hear about Alex last time i saw him was in Lorraines lorry park
Southampton i am sure you was with him a few years ago now though. Used to Work with him on BI . I think a couple of other guys from BI used to do the
same contract with the carpets Peter Grinsted and John Yates.

MaggieD:
Nice pics Pat, remember Charlie Hanham when he was on LTS Freight in the 80’s, here’s a couple of yours and I think this is Paddy in his Kenworth,before and after !! regards MaggieD

MaggieD Did you have the 95 Daf on LTS with the dent in
in the back? Used to work with Charlie when we
were subbies on Dual Carriage and also done
a few trips with him abroad . Had some good
times with him, lost his number last time i spoke
to him he was a shunter on Vitacress. Regards Kev

Hi Kev, I think the guy with the DAF was Jeremy Roberts, like Charlie a good laugh, I’d forgotten about Dual Carriage what happened to them ?
