BILL 2:
Hi, Ive just found this site and will log my father into it over the next few days - he is 83 now and drove for A E Jones in the 50s & 60s
For sure he will be able to draft some stories.
hiya,
Welcome Bill 2, your dad will be more than welcome as are you, nice to see some new blood on here.
thanks harry long retired.

i’m trying to save up for a nice bottle of single malt , but the wife keeps wasting our money on food and rent and other similar fripperies . i could throw myself on johnnies mercy , but he would hide the good stuff and get the bell’s out if he saw me coming , anon sober
hiya,
Nowt wrong with a drop of Bells rigsby I have a double in a cup of hot lemonade
every night before bed, well I’m not going to dilute a decent drop of single malt
with pop am I now,that would be a waste wouldn’t it and if you lot found out I
was doing that you would ex-communicate me then I would have to drink on my
own, and I would probably become addicted.
thanks harry long retired.

Second retired driver .
" Well , ah can remember further back than thee . I can remember t day I wer born. There was a bright light suddenly shining in miface , and a woman pulled me out frae a darkn` wet place . Ah was telt later that this was a midwife , but I was too young to know her " .
Third retired driver .
" Nay , lads , I can beat both o yer theer ! I can vividly remember t day thet mi Mam n Dad , they hadna got wed then , and they went out intae t local Park , to have a picnic . After theyd eaten their bait , they had a cuddlebehind some bushes . Aye , ah remember that day reet well,cos ah went theer wi mi dad , but ah kem home wi mi mam !! " .

But no,not incontinent,had plenty of holidays over there though but never took a wagon.
