Hi lads sorry to use this page as a recruiting page but now that I have lost 2 old hands to early retirement ( Kevin and Kris ) I am looking for a driver day work or nights out. If anybody knows anyone looking, give me a shout Preferably aged under 90 Cheers Darren
Wadya mean Darren old hands?? I’m in the prime of life!!! and Kris is only a year older than me
Ps Looking forward to a long winter and no early starts.
Regards Kev.
Don’t miss a trick do you Darren■■?
Regards Kev. Ps you could try bribery, come to the “do” and fill me full of whiskey then ask in front of witnesses,
of course they will be just as ratted as me so couldn’t be relied on.

Kev, Talking about being ratted, These bottles of Malt I have just acquired, Which I will be bringing to the next do, Are really potent & will go down very well I hope, & Will get the trueth out of anyone who Is brave enough to take a taste, Regards Larry.

Hi Bob bumped into Tony Cawthorne a couple of weeks back, we had been on the same plane back from Teneriffe he only spotted me at the carousel when we were collecting the cases. Don’t think I’ve seen him in over 20 years.
