MOTORISED PERAMBULATOR MADE BY DUNKLY, LONDON 1923
I love the fact that it says Manx Norton on the photo.
John, you may be interested to know that I posted your Pramotor photo on an English language French forum and at first got the ‘expert’ evaluation of it I posted above, but also it spawned a discussion which has so far reached 25 posts ranging from taking the ■■■■ out of Jacob Rees-Mogg (that’s him in the pram ) and the origin and current non-use of the term ‘golliwog’.
Thanks to Buzzer for the picture of Austin Wilkinson Foden lorries. This company from Atherton,
near to Leigh and Wigan is still in operation today. I see their lorries locally quite often.
This fresh fish van from Fleetwood is at the Market Place in Wigan town centre each Friday.
I occasionally purchase a pair of Manx Kippers for my Sunday morning breakfast. Yum Yum.

Love the taste Ray, but hate all those little bones. Thus haven’t eaten a kipper in 40 or 50 odd years. Have they improved?

Yes David, they certainly have.
You can buy them in tins now so you don’t have to stand for hours at the side of the canal.
I thought that everybody carried a tin of John West Kippers in their food box in the lorry. Just boil the tin in a pan of hot water for five minutes and serve on a slice of hot buttered toast. The food of the Gods and long distance lorry drivers, although I remember them being in a larger, oval shaped tin.
Not that one Buzzer but I did have a 3 cyl Susuki for a while it was given to me by a fencing contractor who I allowed to live in the mens quarters over the wet, I was caretakeing a station at the time anyhow on Christmas day I decided to check he horse paddock troughs before the kids got cranked up with opening presents the end result being me losing half a big toe and me trapped underneath it for a while one good thing was I rarely wore thongs[flipflops] to work again.

I rarely cooked in the cab, almost all my eating was done at the roadside at wherever I could find it, apart from in our early days at Whitetrux when I had an offsider, Fran, to do it for us. Even in Oz, there were places like Timber Creek where you could get a steak to last till the station owner and his wife fed you from half a cow on a spit. Back home in France the routier system was so good there was no need to do otherwise, even if weekended, rare for me here, at family run routiers someone would bring something out to tide me over.
Not kippers, but sardines, my dogs get a tin each every day with their croquettes and I watch them with envy, one day I’ll buy an extra one and see if I can get a glossy coat too.

Yes mushroomman used to love kippers hot or cold back in the day but nowadays they disagree with my innards so just a memory.
Oily
No posts from me in last couple days as been in hospital having an angiagram but luckily it turned out to be a chest infection but what a boring place to be shut in, wired up to the moon peeing in a card bottle and crap food. No sleep at all far too noisy but home tonight in me own bed, Buzzer

Welcome back mate, something similar here. My wife spent 9 days in hospital with a chest infection and now bedridden because she weakened her legs lying down so long and fights me furiously when I try to put back the oxygen tubes she is supposed to rely on. I hope you are a better patient. 42 visits a week from various nurses but no-one during the night when she lets frustration reign.

Best wishes to both our patients. As age comes upon us life can become a round of medical visits (it does for me!), but at least we are lucky to have the doctors and facilities available. Even if they are not everything we would wish for.

A late friend of mine used to love a kipper breakfast but he cooked them in an old caravan in his garden!

Best o’ luck.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, you must be worn out.
