Hello Lads, I have been to France and allowed back in Blighty 
long time since I used that word. Kept the other half happy with buying a load of ■■■■ and a designer handbag. I tried to send a posting a few times before I left UK but I gave up, and reported it to Trucknet, I can see great, if I get up to one of your do’s I can give Angy a few good coatings of looking at. 
Norman Ingram:
Hello Lads, I have been to France and allowed back in Blighty
Good to see you back Norm, half of the Trucknet members are scouring the UK trying to locate you. They can all stand down now.
Glad to hear you and your good lady have had a nice break.
Cheers Dave.
Common Dave, the wife having a break, she used too when I was on the road, 
long ones when I was on middle east.
Norman Ingram:
Common Dave, the wife having a break,
Probably took her a month to get the sand out of the house when you came home Norm.
Cheers Dave.

Welcome John, I tipped and loaded regularly in Capels yard in the seventies with dies for the car pressings at Scotswood. They were good days!!! If I remember correctly we had to sheet all the dies before we left the yard, even though they were stood outside and covered in rust. Regards Kev.

Hiya,
Kev didn’t they press door casings for Fords I took many a load of steel into Scotswood
which would have been just about the right thickness and size for a Ford rustbucket
door shell, no doubt Kev your dies would have been put to good use on my steel.
thanks harry, long retired.
