Johnnie Larry will have his hip flask as will I which we will have filled with, Larry’s Glenmorangie mine Glenfyddich which will be transhipped into glasses below table top level at sometime during the proceedings, well you know it makes sense, just hope they let me on the bus at chucking out time, should take an old logbook with me and do a Webby might be some young “fella me lad” in a 44 tonner going in my direction who will stop and give a worn out old former driver a lift in the direction of his bed.

Borrow a tacho box of someone Harry and just hold it up in the air,same as with the logbook years ago.Some lorry driver will stop and give you a lift home.You might have to call him a trucker which like me isn’t a recognised term for a lorry,but with a drop of firewater on board you won’t worry .
Cheers Dave.
Harry all you need is a High Vis coat with VOSA on it & you will have no problem then Eh… Larry.

Aberdeen and Invergordon were quite regular and then the power station at Dounray is that far enough north for you mind you Dounray was a pain problems with escorts I think it took 8 or 9 days just to get there on one trip I recall being stuck around coldstreem almost a full day by an accident and fog so we could not move until it lifted.
cheers Johnnie
P S getting a lift would be " where’ve you been while now "

You could of stayed at Johnnie o Groats .
Well they are great pictures of the famous pioneers to the road haulage Co,s operating today, I remember my old Grandad telling me of the rules & regs, IE, putting too much black smoke out on the old steamers, getting cautioned by Policemen on push bikes, stopping him half way up a steephill with a waterhole at the top, my old Grandad very rareley uttered an oath, but he did say the silly begger stopped me just before I was going to stop for water ■■?> Regards Larry. Grandsdon of the late Tommy Smiles from Wideopen, Traction Engine Driver, & then Scammells until he retired at the good old age of 70.
Hi Norm,
Wondered where you had been/Thought you might have been putting in a few ■■■■■ in a Santa outfit in one of the big shopping malls in a grotto .
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Johnnie can’t help with the Gill moniker but there is a County Durham village not far from here called Crook travel through it frequently in the Summer months en-route to the Durham Dales for a drop of fresh air and if the “old lady” is willing to take hold of the handlebars have a drop of fresh ale as well some nice pubs out that way and I find the car seems to steer itself onto the car parks without any help from me well you’ve just got to call in haven’t you it’s only manners.
thanks harry long retired.
