hiya,
Never got near Hobson’s Chris, but have been given Hobson’s Choice a few times in my life, but have also delivered to Mettoy special paint from Crown Paints of Darwen can’t remember the name of the firm in those days back in the 60s but it was a BRS job usually a ton stuck on the back end “just drop that bit off on your way past” type of thing.
thanks harry long retired.

Crown Paints Darwen was a regular drop for me with toluene,xylene and white spirit Harry.That’s real 'ave yer not,can yer not will yer not country.Good drop with a tanker,was called Walpamur at one time I think?

You must have been a artist Harry, with all that paint you had to lug around, if I asked your wife, she would say, the only artist in Harry, is a “■■■■” artist, because he likes his half & half. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

hiya,
Yes Norm former driver and semi skilled ■■■■ artist and in the pre- breathalyser days occasionally both at the same time, nowt to be proud of i know but i could put a dram or two away in my solitary days but have never got pickled when going home to a woman i think that there is nothing worse especially when there are children about, i don’t think my old lady has ever seen me worse for wear, oh and i forgot boring old git as well.
thanks harry long retired.

I do not know about you being semi-skilled, I should but you in the expert class ,with all your years of training, including your army service, you may be intitled to recieve medals or commendations, for your ability to put away alcohol, above the call of duty. :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

hiya,
Well go on then Norm, i’ll regard that as a compliment, after all i put a few years hard work into becomeing a ■■■■ pot and it wasn’t easy, i had to keep drying myself out to get married and for the most part that was a waste of time, but like becomeing an expert imbiber i finally became spot on at the wedding game and my old lady thinks the world of me, i think.
thanks harry long retired.

hi harry, you’ll have to tell me your secret :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing: my misses KNOWS I’m A ■■■■ pot and keeps fukcin reminding me :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

2551

hiya,
Jimmy m, sorry to say ill health put paid to my drinking i still enjoy a drop of Bells with a beer chaser but with the tablet intake my booze intake is very minimal in fact i’m a restricted ■■■■ pot trying to get out, so any tips from me are as much use as a chocolate fireguard, being a ■■■■ pot is easy but being one without being a pest is the hard part.
thanks harry long retired.
