Hi Guys
Been thinking ! way back when there was a bit of fun in the game --the night trunkers would tell me tales of the โtarts of the nightโ they were on the oxford to swansea run and changed over trailers at raglan --they would talk about Cinderford โlillyโ ,Raglan mary, newport jane, gloucester peg etc ,never experienced any of this myself you understand !! toshboy PS I remember now they used to call them โsmokersโ i often wondered why.
Well in the 50/60s we had them in Newcastle area, They were called ladies of the night, they only came out in the dark, There was Jesmond Lill, Sandyford Suzie, Gateshead Gerty, They used to hang about on the Tyne Bridge late at night looking for long distance drivers to pick them up, They were as rough as badgers arses, The blokes that let them in their cabs must have been desperate, Cab traffic it was called in those days, no thank you as far as Im concerned But thats the way it was in those days, Regards Larry.
Very true, there was a one used to hang about on the Standedge, she used to get into the cafe near the top, her name was The Standedge Goat, she sometimes had a pram with her, but I never new if it was empty or loaded I nver stopped to ask, Regards Larry.

Perhaps she wanted someone to give her something to fill the pram Larry. I heard there were one or two creatures of the night at the Jungle Cafe.

Aye I heard about them but never ever saw them, I was told once by one of my mates they were very very tasty, but alas I mist out , but I did see quite a few on my travels, they were all over the place, but my veiw is why have a burger when you can have a steak at home, An old mate of mine Parky Denholm [RIP] told me when I first started on journey work, allways watch what you are doing & make sure you dont get a dose of the Rabdabs, or the marrowbone jellies coming out of your hampten, I took his advice to the last detail, The good old days , Regards Larry.

When i wor just a lad I went down to London one night as trailer mate, (Harrisons of Dewsbury), I was a very innocent young lad, the route was down the A1 and onto the A10 (no M1 in those days). The transport cafes were always busy and one night I saw lots of activity, I didnโt know what was happening until I later found out that one of โthe ladiesโ had been " attended to" with the drawbar trailer pin. I was told that all went well until she discovered she was covered in grease. She screamed the place down.
hiya,
Dennis " The Scotch House " at Kings Cross 8.00 Oโclock wear your boilersuit
It does tend to get a bit rough, as for pink elephants and flying pigs I do say
Iโve seen a few over the years, last viewing was last night actually.
thanks harry, long retired.

Aye, Ive lead a sheltered life to, in my younger days it was in bloody airaid shelters during the last war, & even now I get kept in if Im naughtey, plus my pocket money is stopped sometimes if I step out of line, no one knows what I have to put up with, Oh dear listen to me, Ive just poured a large Glenmorangie into a large glass just to calm me down before I have another one, Ha Ha Ha, Get in there Larry & enjoy before the good lady finishes the dinner dishes, Heres to more good times, Larry.

You need to mix some febmix in with the whisky Larry to keep the wet out.
Cheers Dave.
Norman Ingram:
Larry enjoy yourself, but Harry means by he led a sheltered life , was he was born in a bus or tram shelter, or was it conception
hiya,
Norm, I happen to know exactly which bedroom of my Grandfathers home I arrived in,
but not a clue as to where i was conceived, I did live for most of the war just off the
Strand Road on a street which ran parallel with the Dock Road so you can imagine quite
a few nights were spent in air raid shelters in the Bootle area, so sheltered life it was.
