Old North East haulage companies (Part 1)

Bloody hell theres a few names from the past, Eh proper haulage men in my book it seems like they are doing OK In their retirement, Which of they should be doing after their years of grafting in the haulage game , & making money not only for themselves but for the firms they drove for, take care lads & keep on on drinking & ■■■■ the driving, Regards Larry.

For Marcus 22 and Larry Dunbar,
Just to show how much of a small world it is I’ve never see Markyp for so long and the morning he’s mentioned on here I spend all afternoon with him on the drink,
Not to mention Clive Bell and Alan Irvine so you no the afternoon I’ve had…Aye a good one .

Davy, drag Clive Bell to the next do (I don’t think he will be kicking and screaming). It would be great to see him again. Regards Kev.

Mention Avon Foot Works, That might refresh his mems, Regards Larry.

Haha Avon foot works this sounds like its going to be a good one , anyway gents my taxi coming in 5mins away to Durham for a few shandy s , enjoy the rest of your night, Regards mark

Aye well it must be about 14 years ago, We both tipped phone books at Oxford area, & wenr into Amersham to load Brown Ale for Newcastle Breweries, They were half pints, They had been bottled at Kendal in 1/2 pints for export to Canada, But the boxes they were packed in didn’t meet export regs, So they were sent down to a firm in Amersham to be sorted out, & the transported back to Newcastle to be loaded into conatainers & then senr down to Southampton Docks , God only knows the cost involved, But having said that the rate I got was OK for a return load, We were parked up at Amersham outside the loading point, I t was a warm evening, We went & got some Fish & Chips for our evening meal, Mark was having a problem with his feet so I sprayed them with Avon foot works liquid which I used on me own plates of meat in the summer, He was pleased with the treatment & he said he would get some for the future when his feet were sore, Happy long gone days, Regards Larry.
