so I can look my best.Now,lets talk about money.£100 a day will have to do as I can,t go to any more.Do we have a deal?
Regards Charlie

Now come on Johnnie what chance do you think I would have of survival if I set you three retrobates loose with a Magnum on the “other side” I would suggest "slim and none,and when you joined the “team” Slim just left town!!! Cheers Dennis.

Charlie, I think Dennis might want you to chaperone me as he seems to be casting aspersions on my character and would require someone of your upstanding to supervise and take charge of all the running money as I am unsure whether he would be comfortable with entrusting me with a few thousand in cash 
I have got the missus to wash my boiler suit and as long as the wagon as a proper gear box and not a push button one ( as I would not know where to start with one of those ) I reckon it could be fine if the moneys good.
cheers Johnnie 
P S do you know anyone who could get us some hollow stainless steel side under run bars in case we have to load out of a distillery

Ok Johnnie.Looks like its me and thee.As you rightly put it “someone of my upstanding”.Can,t fault you there mate. I also am in a position to chaperone you as I,ve been “doctered” so no problems there.The other advantage is my walking frame is foldable and will stowaway ok.Sounds like we are in with a chance.Regards Charlie
Johnnie if you want some stainless steel tanks, you want to find some of those old BRS Overland Marathons, they used to be a few under the floor on the passender side to carry water, if you got them full, you would be pie eyed for most of the year.

Norman that sounds very painless and everything in the garden would seem rosey as I only drink for medicinal purpose’s to get away from the harsh reality’s of life and to relieve the stress of modern day living.
cheers Johnnie
P S it seems as if Dennis is mulling things over 
Johnnie I do not know which is the worst out of you two, Harry or you, both of you only drink whisky for your health 
Norman Ingram:
Johnnie I do not know which is the worst out of you two, Harry or you, both of you only drink whisky for your health
Norman we must have similar complaints

I think we’ll borrow Andrew’s big yankee motor so we can get all the crew on board!! Can you manage a left ■■■■■■ Norm? what did you say! Johnnie can do all the driving he had some “dodgy” motors at Pickfords!!Then you,“H” and Charlie can just prop the bar up in the back of the sleeper pod! On second thoughts if we got our hands on Andrews motor I’d get you onto ICE ROAD TRUCKERS and running up and down to Prudoe Bay! minus 40 degrees! even the scotch freezes at that temp!!!No Ice required just hold the stick and lick!!! Cheers Dennis.

I can answer both of your criticisms Johnnie! 1) None of Pickfords Contractors were equipped for Cold weather either,so don’t forget your Donkey jacket!2)I once had a little terrier that chased motorbikes but when he caught them he couldn’t ride them!! Its "Brass Monkey’s up there Johnnie as well!!!Dennis.

Fish and chips once please----yea go on then make it a “Whale and a Tatie pit” please, and plenty of salt and vinegar.Thanks.
Dennis it as just occurred to me we would have to be paid cash up front as if anyone came up with a S O M Guy with a 8 cylinder Gardner in it while we were away you would have done one and we would be left penniless 
cheers Johnnie
Johnnie do you think that Dennis is on the Qt, I may be wrong, but he seems to be a little iffey, he offers work to you Harry & me, then moments later he is doing the same to uncle tom cobbly and all, I ask you fellow truckers, where could you get three more drivers as trustworthy as you Harry & me

There might be a Big J with the 8-pot in a hedge bottom somewhere in the IOM,do you want me to have a look round?

Hi Norman.I,m sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings,but I,ve had a PM from Dennis saying that he thought that you and Harry were past your best.
I know that its a hard thing to have to come to terms with but you have to be brave.It happened to me ten years ago.My girlfriend said the very same thing.
Bit of a shock.Be brave.Anyway,my boiler suit has been pressed and I,ve already sent Dennis the cheque.So it looks like Johnie and myself.Be good losers you two.As I,m teetotal you can have my dutyfree.Regards Charlie

The only reason that C. Webb dosen’t reckon IRT is he couldn’t do any “dodgy’s” because if he stood at the side of the road waiting for one of them Carlile motors to come any longer than 5 minutes he would be found next day looking like a Fox’s Glacier mint!!! So no good for Chris then but I don’t think them Carlile drivers get exces so that would be a further discouragement to getting a start in the Arctic circle!!!If I was Chris I would stay where I was on the IOM driving the tram horses!! Cheers Dennis.

Aye and t’tram horse driving would pay better as well 
Or even horse tram driving 
Charlie , you can have the job, just remembered,Harry & me have gave up our HGV licence , besides that I do not think you will get a good rate out of Dennis, in fact I think he will expect you to pay to drive for him.
