hiya,
Norm if i could get away from Consett by six in the morning i could be running into Birmingham while the kids was still making their way to school,now that was good going in the 1970s and i bet they can’t do that nowadays and if you got a quick tip and load you could make it back in good time to manufacture a “dodgy” managed that a few times too.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry, I could manage Brum to Chester le street, all motorway in my FH 440 in 4hrs 20mins @52mph
I had it on the computer last week in the garage and got it put up to 56mph which knocks nearly 20mins off, remember this is all motorway with no stops at all, Its laughable, 30 yrs ago I could have knocked an hour off that,on the old roads, in a big j and stopped for breakfast on the way.
This is true,in those days we refused to drive the j’s with 180’s as they would only do 58mph! I’d be glad of that now
The cruise control is easier in the Volvo, remember the wooden stick underneath the grab handle in the big j
I’ve got a microwave, fridge, telly etc in the Volvo, it goes that slow i’ve no time to use them.
Yeh some things are better but its a long way from the good times we had.
Did the Big J have an 8LXB engine Trev .
Cheers Dave.
Wow, you lads, you will be fighting next with feather dusters at nine paces, I can just see the poster now! Dave Welsh Verses Dennis Morecombe at the " Big J " arena the corner assistances Trevor H Stafford, and that popular figure Harry Durham.

Heard that Dennis had bought a Half Hunter gold watch off Paul Hayes the antiques expert from Morcambe Norm.He will probably be featured on the program on TV .
Cheers Dave.

Trev would it be possible to pop the speed limiter into the micro wave or would you have to put the computer in
Hello Chris, where have you been hiding, when talking to Johnnie, he hinted , when we was on skype,that you would never come on skype because you are not as goodlooking as him?, also you are frightened that you might have to spend something! Woe be it I would stir it between to old mates.

hiya,
Norm, Chris can’t possibly be in hiding, at least not on the IOM there’s no hiding places on there,maybe he’s keeping a low profile because the IOM Mafia have got wind of his night out stash they don’t like people having more brass than them. i keep trying Skype to see if he’s on but there’s loads of Chris Webb’s on there even from Sheffield, but we know what he looks like he made the mistake of doing a soft shoe shuffle on the back of his shunter , big big mistake but fair play he is bonnier than me, then again is’nt everybody.
thanks harry long retired.

hiya,
Howay now Chris if i went to Zurich for brass i’d need a twelve bore shotgun and a getaway car, but i might crack a dodgy on the way back, is it still eleven and a tanner for a night out.
thanks harry long retired.
Poor old Chris must be going potty driving around and round in circles In the IOM, but a little dickybird told me that he had plenty of practice, for he was seen driving around a lorrypark when he got there too early on a dodgy nightout!
Harry, old Chris is not answering again, do you think he has gone to Zurich to count all that nightout money he got over the years, while he was sitting in his front room with his feet up, and his good wife fetching him ice cold bottles of beer from the fridge. Then years later she saved herself money by moving him to the IOM so he could not escape!

Well thanks for wondering where I’ve been lads. Been busy night trunking over here and also got a couple of other night shift jobs - washing t’windsock at Ronaldsway Airport and cleaning t’fog horn out on Douglas Harbour breakwater.
And you are right Dave,my wife was,and still is,worth getting home to.
Funny how all t’ugly blokes get the best looking lasses tha knows.
