Hi all, glad to hear you you got one trip in on friday tony so not a total waste of a day. 
Me again,i will come on your little jolly maggied if you got room for a small one
TIR Tone. Yes,I think all will be safe now except for MaggieD.Watch for him coming out. 
Richard.Yes thanks.We enjoyed our trip to Yorkshire.Only problem was the bloody lorries pushing us up the A1.Some of these great beasts were overtaking us and we were doing nearly 45mph.Nearly frightened the Memsahib to death.If you do manage to negotiate a good price with Jim and his taxi,watch out for the hidden extras.Regards Charlie.

The only reason that you have got a small one Gerbil is youv,e worn yours out (I was told).Regards Charlie
Keep out of the farms Tone…especially the ones with cows! Makes your wheel arches and carpets smell!
HOW MANY LOADS TONE
The HELL DRIVERS would have done 6 yes SIX
It takes a special breed of driver to become a “Hell Driver” Tipper Tone will make the grade after a few years practise I,m sure.Mind you three loads a day from Wareham to Marchwood must take some doing
Im wondering how he’s going to manage without his 4 hour sleep during the day?

A few years of this Charlie one at my age will put me in an early grave. Sod this for a laugh.

I knew i was missing something today Gazza, now you,ve just reminded me. 
Well lads i,ve made my mind up already and this tipper game aint for me.
Looks like my old draw bar might be sold, someones gonna be looking at it tomorrow and i,ve told the guv,nor
that i,m not happy and i,m only doing it til he finds someone else.
So after waiting all this time for a decent motor i,m gonna be losing it so if anybody knows of any jobs going let me know. 
MaggieD:
Three Tips TIR Tone,
Let me know if you are going to start coming home weekends,I’ll have to find somewhere else to go
charlie one,
Hope you had a good week in Yorkshire ! did they stamp your permit ? I’m going to ask Jim how many people he can get in his taxi and arrange a visit to Alton with GazIOW and anyone else we can get in.Jim,
How many people can you get in your taxi ?Regards Richard
Hi MaggieD me plus 4 whats on in Alton then ??I was talking to GazIOW the other week i think he might be in spain at the Mo.
Tony Dump the tipper and get a tilt on mate !!! 
happy days agaun R Jimski
Tir Tone;
To be a hell driver you’ll have to start drinkin carajillo’s again…And funny enough went out with a few of the old lads last Sat. to a Spanish restaurant and had one (was only one honest),WOW dam fantastic…

Tony, Seen a couple of jobs might suit you !
“Sandie” Shaw the 60’s pop star is looking for someone to drive her around
Mark “sand” Spencer are looking for a doorman with good tips !
Eastleigh job centre are looking for an experienced continental driver to do a weekly run from Southampton to Modena Italy driving a used Ferrari out and bringing a new one back, all Hotels,meals & drinks found ! I said to the woman, my mate Tony is ideal for that,she said “Tell him to get himself down to Wareham”, I said is that where the job starts ?, she said “No it’s where the queue for the job starts” 
I’ll keep looking !!
Gerbil, As soon as Gary comes back,I’ll arrange the trip to see Charlie,if more want to come and we can’t get in Jim’s taxi,I can get a minibus (Brady will get the diesel )
jim, Charlie lives in Alton !!
Regards to all Richard
Ricnard.If you can make the trip up to see me at Alton,can you make it soon.The doctors have only given me two weeks.So the first two in April will do! Hopefully Gary will be back by then.Re “Tipper Tone” Have you still got any timber grabs left.A few days out in the forest loading pulp and he might wish he was still on the tippers.Oh for the good old days eh?
On a serious note,Kevin Rawlings has bought a space cab to do Italy.Speaking to Terry Sparrow yesterday.He had asked Terry if he was interested who said he was too old.Same age as me! Don,t know his number but I am sure you could find it.Regards Charlie

Dont think anyone does tilts now Jim, it,s all tautliners now. Easier i,m sure but just would,nt be the same aye.

Thanks for that info Charlie, but to be honest mate i dunno if i,d wanna do that again. It,s been 12 years now since i last ventured over the water
and from what i,ve heard theres been too many changes for the worse.
…
Well everybody, the tipper lark has come to an abrupt end and it looks like i,m gonna lose the new MAN.
Have had a big fall out with the guvnor so it,s finally time to move on. HELP 
Hi Mappo Im sorry mate to hear whats happend, you know what you like and dont like I hope you find something else, wish I could help ya mate 
Jus goes to show how long Ive been out of it i didnt know they dont use tilts anymore !!Regards Jimski
Some more of Ennis Stratton’s pics
Another from Marc (Bubbleman)'s Scrapbook thread with a Southampton connection this time Greenwoods of Rownhams
Blimey Pat ,that was quick
Bubbs.
tir tony, do a couple of trips over the water, you can then see it for yourself , the only downside is that
eating out is costly, and you dont see many british drivers to talk to.best of luck. ft
