Harry that bray’s was a doss house, after I stopped there, it burnt down a few years later, 
that must have purified it a little, I pulled up at silvertown motel, had a look in and turned away, and this little old lady said not stopping, I 
said no I might catch something I don’t want. The lady replied I do b/b, can I park my lorry, oh yes she said, jump in gal and I handed her shopping to her and spun the lorry around and up the road over a swing bridge and a turn right, they had knocked a load of terrace houses down, hers was a corner house by a old lamp post, I parked my lorry next to it. beautiful room & bed, great breakfast. She told me the developers wanted her house, but didn’t want to pay her price, so she was staying put. I never got down that way until a few years later, the house had gone, I hope she got her price and moved down by the sea. 
I stopped in the Silvertown motel once but most of the time I would stop at South Mimms at the Rest Cafe or Deards of Finchley across the road, there were two beds to a cell as it used to be a womens prison during the war and you could usually meet up with a Forth scots driver with a bottle of scotch buckshee and get an early start round the North circular the next morning, DennisR
Very interesting Dennis, feel free to join in with our band of old fogies, 90% are whisky & malt experts, their blood is probaby 90% pure alcohol.

You will need to get 10% antifreeze as well as the whisky and diesel with the onset of colder weather.

With you lots sniffing around Larry, he would need casks of malt whisky, ps don’t forget to take your bibs!
Good job they banned smoking in public Norm,with all those whisky fumes they would blow the place up,if they struck a match. 
Cheers Dave.
Nice one, But one has to remember that smoking is banned in pubs & clubs But drinking is an on going pleasure & I f one savours the Malts as H & L Do, well what other pleasures can us owld drivers (Proper drivers may I add) get in our retiring years, Speaking for myself as an owld retired, & may I add tired too Haulage man The single double malts keep me going, Plus the Oysters, & Lobsters, & not to forget the Sardines & Jam & Bread, & May I say its great to wake up every morning feeling stiff I f know what I mean, Regards Larry.

Its when you don’t wake up and someone else finds you stiff is not so great. 
Cheers Dave.
Ang it even tasets better than It sounds, I will resereve you a dram, I will be there about 3 PM, & My taxi will pick me up at 6 PM, Im out on parole for good bad behaviour or something like that anyway, I look forwrad to seeing you , Regards Larry.
I wish that you old guy’s would stop talking about single malt’s otherwise I might have to start drinking again after two years abstinence! Still got a bottle or two tucked away in the pantry but they are probably past their sell by date now and only good for drain cleaning duties.
Pete.

Pete, It has to be drank first before it is put into the drains, Anyway whiskey nevers goes bad with age It only gets better, so dont waste it my good buddy, drink it yourself or pass it on to one of your mates & let them pass it on to the drains, Regards Larry. PS If you get stuck with it Im sure Harry & Me could solve your problem Eh Ha Ha.

You will need to post sentries around your house Pete. You could have some whisky trick or treat merchants around next Wednesday.
Cheers Dave.
I might just drink it Larry now that the cold weather is approaching rapidly, my neice usually gives me a bottle for either my birthday or christmas (only 4 days apart) but it will not be a single malt, just Sainsburys finest, so I will line it up with the rest! Having said that, we have a cabinet by this computer full of miniatures that have been untouched for at least thirty years plus a couple of full size Bells in the bell shaped Wade bottles so I could practice on those I guess? If I am not logged in for a week or two then you will know why!
Dave they will get nowt here as I wont open the door at night, miserable old sod aint I?
Pete.

Trick or treat merchants that come here get a shock Pete.Not wishing to sound a killjoy.I don’t believe in it.They get a fright if they come down my drive. 
Cheers Dave.
The tick or treat merchants in my book are the dodgey gearzers that give owner drivers loads, (Loads of Crap most of the time) & Expect top of the range service, which they get anyway from O/Ds, trying to make a good living themselves, & Put themselves out all the time to give customer satisfaction, But its the Dodgey Geazers who get the praise, & a bloody large cut of the original rate for the job, Been there done it but couldnt affored the bloody T Shirt, Regards Larry, PS . (Mind you I did get a lot of work from a well known local Haulge Firm who served me very well, & they are still going to this day & run a fine fleet of motors & have some very good drivers in their employ, Regards Larry.
