Dave I think Harry’s problem is he must be dripping whisky on to his laptop, so it gets into his machine. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: or crumbs from his dripping toast. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I do not get that problem for I have mine on a desk and a stand that keeps it cool, I know Harry sit’s with it on his lap,hmm he might over heat it as well! :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Perhaps he’s set himself on fire Norm with the heat igniting the spirits :laughing: .
Cheers Dave.

I wonder if a shot like this will “smoke” “H” out Dave? It usually is more than he can tolerate!! Tin hats lads and back into the trenches!! Unless,of course, he’s sunning himself on a beach somewhere!! Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Bloody hell Dennis that’s nearly a personalised reg No for me, what a waste on that pile of crap, transfer it to a 110 or upwards and I’m hooked.

you defo qualify for the old timers club dave, if you can remember ale at 1/8d a pint you are older than you look ! i bet larry can remember it cheaper than that though . just imagine if whisky was still 12/6d a bottle now there would be some very happy ex-drivers in the north east , cheers , dave

I will be 64 in December Dave.It was 1/8p a pint when I was 18 then went up to 1/11p in about 1968.Don’t go in a pub very often as we haven’t got one near here,but when we were on holiday it was £3.20 or over for a pint.I suppose compared to the cost of other things such as fuel,in real terms it hasn’t changed that much,except that we now have supermarkets that sell beer for a third of the price.Yes definitely in the older bracket :laughing: :laughing: .
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Can remember being able to get reasonably well lubricated and ten Woodbines with a few coppers change out of a ten bob note when I was a youngster mind I was a pit lad and did’nt get many ten bob notes in my pay packet.
thanks harry long retired.

I’m a bit younger than you Harry,but when I started at a garage at 15 after leaving school I got £2 15shillings,with 10 bob stoppages.£2 5 shillings to take home.I jacked that in after six months to work in a factory for double the money,but wasn’t bred for being indoors,so started for a builder and was a plasterers labourer on a mans wage taking home £12 a week,more if we were on bonus.Not bad in 1965 at 18.Those were the days 12 stone and fit as a fiddle :laughing: :laughing: .
Cheer Dave.

What rich men you were when you was young, I got £1.12/6p for a plummers mate, kept 5shillings for myself and the rest to my widowed mum, and went to the billiard hall to play snooker and turned it in to pounds, if I lost I had nothing! So I made sure I never lost. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Gave my mum £1 out of my original £2 5 shillings Norm,gave more as I earned more. A £1 was worth a lot more in those days,probably equivalent to £30 nowadays. I still think those days were better.The youngsters of today haven’t the wide choice of jobs,skilled or unskilled that we had.
Didn’t have a snooker hall this way Norm,we did have a mens club as did most of the villages,you could play darts billiards,draughts quoits and a other games.We had a rifle range once a week which I enjoyed,used to have a few guns.
Those were the days :laughing: :laughing: .

Harry if you reversed this one at the side of the "abortion 80 thing " and I was not watching your near-side to well it would do some very severe damage to it maybe even make it as thin as a ■■■ paper. :blush: :laughing: :laughing:
cheers Johnnie :wink:

P S Harry and Lawrence and myself never got paid for delivering the whisky in the ladle and we are not to blame for the evaporation as there was no lid on it. :stuck_out_tongue: :unamused: :laughing:

Dave I was brought up to “charity begins at home” and there is so many poor old lorry drivers on here that we would not be able to get a drink each out of what we raised. :laughing: :blush:

Harry it should manage us as it is usually transported in a concentrated form and needs a bout 2 water to one angel’s water so its like carrying 3 times as much which = 1 full load each :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing:

hiya,
I’m glad there’s at least one brain on the team Johnnie, on those calculations there should be enough to keep us pickled until we get the job done, I’ll make a start now I never liked playing catch-up, cheers hic.
thanks harry long retired.

5998

Harry it would help if you could persuade your good lady to fit 3 drips up as with the weather at this time of the year we don’t want to be in and out of the cab every 5 minutes and it would help with our ailments and the cold as well as the uncomfortable old wagon so I think our case is strong enough for us to be piped up. :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing: :laughing:
cheers Johnnie :wink:
P S try and get it sorted while the gaffer is out feeding his face and he won’t know :wink:

hiya,
No problem Johnnie she’ll do that but she’ll need to think it’s some form of medication we need, I’ll try to convince her we are all in need re-hydration and the medical men say we require loads of liquid that should do it…
