Norman Ingram:
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.
hiya,
Norman i’ts only pressure from my Old Lady that i keep my car driving licence i’d whiz that in the recycle bin as well if she who must be obeyed gave me the OK i spend more time on the bus than the driver, no money needed no derv to buy no parking fees or fines, and can even nod off if i want and usually do.have held a licence (motorcycle) first since age 16 now pushing 75 i think that’s plenty.
thanks harry long retired.

Norman you could be right.I,ve just remembered that when I renewed mine at 70 they expected me to have a medical
just to drive a 71/2 tonner.Bloody cheek.
Dennis,cancel my contract.I will go on the bus. Is my pass valid for Deutchland? Regards Charlie

So be it Chris.No hard feelings here.In fact not for quite a long time now.But thats another story.I think the bus stops at the Bahnhof,so I will need directions.
Safe journey.Regards Charlie
Harry look on the bright side, if your pushing 75, soon you will be adding a free TV licence to your bus pass, my bowling mate Tom had a large party for his 95th, are you having one for your 75th Harry, if you are keep it a secret, you know all this gang will move heaven & earth to get free eats & drinks out of you.

The date is already “clocked” and pencilled in Norm!Dennis.
Dennis, where do you get all this inside information from!, I have already warned Harry that you may turn up with half a dozen coach loads of ex- truckers, he will be worried to death that all his secret stache of Scottish Whiskey he has stored away, over the many years of delivering kegs of the liquid gold, his tool kit consisted of a lenth of rubber tube, a small hand drill, a screw in silver pourer & a five gallon hip flask, many be depleted by the hordes. Be kind to Harry, he is down to his last 5,000 bottles.

hiya,
Thank you for forewarning me about the proposed invasion, i am now in the process of moving my stock to a local lock-up and if the 44 tonner does’nt turn up fairly soon i will have drunk the lot, hic hic in fact i’ll have a couple while i’m waiting, i won’t be assisting with the loading i’ts all handball. PS Norm i think i’ve cracked the Skype thingy just need to find some friends now, Norm you’re name is top of the list. Another PS i’ve requested the haulier send his newest drivers and a flat trailer so’s i can have a laugh at their attempt at roping and sheeting, but not being too hard hearted i will offer them my R&S course at greatly reduced cost and they can then drive off into the sunset like proper drivers and i’m not buying breakfast.
thanks harry long retired.
Norman Ingram:
Glad of that Harry, hope you don’t drink too much, think of your liver, don’t want you to go in hospital for a operation.
hiya,
Don’t be too worried about the liver Norm that’s well preserved when i croak they’ll need to beat that organ to death with a big stick to catch up with the rest of me so’s they can whiz the lot in the fire at the same time.
thanks harry long retired.
Well done Harry, I had faith in you, I knew you are a technial wizard and could conquer the skype, I even heard Buckingham Palace are going to give you a gong, keep this up and it could lead to a knighthood.
i don’t know about a gong norman , i think we could have a whipround & give harry one of those wee barrels like st bernard dogs carry . he wouldn’t have to carry that dodgy looking carrier bag around then . if it was fitted with a drinking tube he would have a hands free device [ single malt for the drinking of ] what do you reckon?? dave

hiya,
Dave the Old Lady bought a very nice hip flask which i do use one problem it does’nt hold enough to get me legless should maybe have two but there’s nowt wrong with a nice single malt in a carrier bag, i find if i keep a full bottle in there i can usually get to falling down condition, oh happy days.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry you know you had snow, we had a springling this morning, but it had gone before the wife got up, I said I was not getting out of bed until it had gone, she replied thier is none here, well I finally got up at 9.30 due to the pain in my legs, and it had gone.
DAve I knew that small barrel was not a good idea, the same as a walking stick, but a great thought went racing through my head, two crutches, they must hold a least a bottle full each, and they would be perfect for when he gets legless, they would hold him up. , and his wife could tell him to hop it down the road to get some milk!
Harry has gone missing again, I know he is driving his wife around to work due to the snow, because we spoke on a video call, but I do hope he has not got stuck in a snowdrift.

thanks harry long retired
bloody hell harry , take it steady , you wouldn’t do 15 hours a day when you were getting paid for it ! seriously though the weather is terrible up your end isn’t it ? we have only had a dusting in buxton , but it is bitterly cold , minus 10 last night . i hope you don’t have too many more days like while it is snowing . keep the inside warm with your usual tipple , cheers , dave
Harry, I hope your wife is paying a good rate of pay to you. but knowing you, it will be the case of one or two bottles of whisky, but the question is , working that amout of hours, will you have time to drink it.
