Great fun those eye injections eh oily ? I had umpteen of the things before they admitted defeat , so now my right eye is just a blur . I’ve started with a cataract in t’other eye now but I’ve told them I’ll call them when I go blind .

Some more on Saturday, Buzzer

What a great period picture with the Minor on the pump. Wolseley sign up on the garage but I think that might be a Rover P5 in the showroom?

Geordielad:
Interesting pic of the Matador Pyewacket, indeed it was a Royal Artillery vehicle, the Red over Blue sign signifies that and the faint sign on the right side should have a yellow Centaur on a light blue background, this was the sign of 7th Air Defence Brigade and the Matador would have towed the 3.7in Anti-Aircraft Gun, similar to the one in the wartime photo below. Matadors were also used for towing other Guns and trailers and a very reliable machine they were, initially powered by an AEC A173 inline six diesel around 10,500 had been supplied by the end of WWII and they were still in use into the 60’s. Later models had the AEC A187 engine at 105bhp. Franky.

I drove and offsided on this Matador and another [still looking for a pic of it]in the 1960s we had at the BRS Irthlingborough Repair centre, used in recovery of all types associated with road transport.
I have posted this before.
Photo was supplied by old workmate Pat a few years ago.

Cataracts ■■ Nowt to the job, I was ‘on the table’ at 10:00am and in the pub in Bingley at Noon enjoying a pint. You’ll marvel at the TV colours when you’ve had the job done. No pain, no discomfort .

Had 3 so far rigsby and with the last one a scan showing signs of slight improvement, normally get an annual optician call but with Covid missed a couple of years so it would have been caught earlier with a better chance of success.
