Throughout our years in haulage , we were fortunate to be given most types of vegetables straight from the producers .
And straight out of the fields if you were on nights in the Lincs and Norfolk area…
I remember picking mushrooms out of a field just below Scotch Corner early in a morning after a changeover further up,one of the best mushroom fields I’ve known,late Sept/Oct time,bags full of 'em.
Hope you paid for them!
I used to get up early as a kid and go picking mushrooms.Great taste to the field mushroom.
Cheers Dave.

They were magic with bacon egg and beans Johhnie.Get up early next autumn and take a ride in the countryside you might find some,but then again you might not,some ol country boy will have beat you to them .
Cheers Dave.
i can’t stand the sight of mushrooms , i worked regular nights for morny mushrooms delivering the things and the smell of them turns my stomach to this day . the wife is the same , she worked the evening shift picking them . i suppose fresh wild ones are different but i don’t want to try them just the same , cheers , dave
Anyone on hee like whinberries or whimberries we say this way.There used to be lots of them on the hills around here.Tasted great in a pie with milk or custard.Took a while to pick them as they are only small.
Cheers Dave.

They are known as bilberries in the Peak District Dave,I’ve eaten tons of 'em and wild strawberries off the Derbyshire hills and moors.

Don’t like strawberries Chris wild or cultivated.Like the whinberries,not that you see many around here anymore.

Some of the oldest members waiting to tip .
Yes very droll Dave.Just be my luck as ever turn the corner and there was a bloody queue,nothing new is there. Mike.
I think these were somewhere in North Wales Mike.I bought the pic at a table sale in Betws Y Coed about three years ago.Are you at the back .
Cheers Dave.

At least the rearmost three have cab heaters!
Pete.
Its not me Pete I was never intelligent enough to work on tippers
cheers Johnnie
I dont think that there was any tipping involved with those steamers Johnnie, just a lot of hard graft loading them, hard graft driving them and more hard graft handballing it all off again! Then at the end of shift cleaning the ashpan and smoke box out, then getting in early next day to fire it up again. Not many overweight crewmen in those days.
