hiya,
Norman your getting chicken in your old age, and it would be pointless me becoming a naturist folk would mistake me for an ugly woman.
thanks harry long retired.
Yes mate “cluck, cluck”, I have protected my nether regions for years, on the C/B I might have put on the voice, as “Puff Pastry”, but certainly never put it in practice 
hiya,
Norm, why not a handle like The Sandman or Mr Sandman, for goodness sake Puff Pastry i suppose would be OK for a “bender” driver.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, “Curlytop” was my handle on CB, the other was my wind up handle, The Sandman was given to me on my 50 birthday, on a pewter mug, by the Overland drivers, which I still have and treasure, for three of the lads have past on, and one of them who lives in spain ( Shovel) Geoff Lovel, his son told me before he retired he did a trip to Russia on the Maddonna tour, so I keep finding out things all the time. 
hiya,
Yep Norm Curley Top is a bit better, i think i would have had to be monikered something like Maj as in Majesty i used to have a type of wave which resembled the Queens wave to the public when the old girl is being ferried about by car or pony and trap i used it when overtaking guys i knew and when greeting oncoming drivers who i knew i was quite well known for my silly salute.
thanks harry long retired.
I used to have an old telephone handset in my AEC MK3 and MK5 and have it clasped to me earole when I was going through towns or being overtaken,used to get some funny looks.
Well,it were no good having a radio,unless I was parked up.Band 3 was ok,never had a CB.In fact I didn’t get a wagon with two wipers until me Mandator in '71.
hiya,
Yep Chris i well remember when two wipers was a luxury they don’t know they are born, and even a roadmenders paraffin lamp stolen from roadworks as the only means of heating the shed, and i ain’t joking, that was a Lancashire idea.
thanks harry long retired.

Eyup Harry,do you remember the days before brake lights and drivers used to switch their back lights on and off when stopping? They don’t even flash each other in now do they? What’s the bloody world coming to?
hiya,
Chris have heard of motors not having brake lights and once drove a 1939 Maudslay 8 legger which would probably have been of that era but had originally been hand cranked as well, although it had been modified to a self starter via an engine change at some time plus if it had been pre brake light vintage, they was on it when i drove it luxury, but do remember the method of flashing the back lights when stopping if yours had packed up and you knew it, quite regular on the old Scammell couplers they was notorious for losing all rear lighting, my missus plays war with me for flashing big stuff in, she tells me to mind my own business, how do you know what he want’s to do?? these young uns you can’t tell em owt, wonder if a clip round the lughole might cure her, and i bravely taught her to drive originally as a “fiddle taxi” you see there was method in my madness.
thanks harry long retired
Harry, I thought your punch line, was she has been driving me mad ever since she passed.
hiya,
Norm, she’s been driving me mad since the day we met, is that not normal??.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry,can you understand a womens mind, they choose the chap they want to marry, then they spend the rest of their life trying to change them, why ho why , do they not pick one who is more to their taste, instead of causing pain to free spirit virile handsome young truckers, I guess it is in their genes. 
Hi Norm,
They should have a section for them at Crufts.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave they do. they call them ■■■■■■■, now i better post this quick before mine wakes up.
thanks harry long retired.
The trouble with them Harry,is they like winalot !
Cheers Dave
hiya,
Dave spot on winalot, moanalot, shoutalot and spendalot, they are experts in their field, there is another “alot” but not in front of the children.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry,Some of them should be in a field,they can be some right cows.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave only some of them are cows, mine isn’t, she told me so in no uncertain terms the last time i called her one, that was just before she blacked my eye and kicked me where it really hurts, ouch.
thanks harry long retired.

As they say in Barnsley “Keep 'em well f***** and poorly shod and they’ll never leave yer” or “If the Lord invented owt better he kept it for hissen”
You obviously aren’t treating and serving 'em right if they are cows,■■■■■■■ etc.
I’ve been doing a bit of painting today ( 
) and it reminded me of another saying:-
“The bloke who invented decorating wants f******,and the bloke who invented f****** wants decorating” ,so tell your wives you will be more obliging in future,they might get housework and decorating done without any argueing and you might get more legovver.
