A couple for you Eddie
Hi Chris(adr) cheers for the Bloxham pics, nice variety , last time I was there would have been mid '60s. Also the buses, the claret,green and red livery I always thought was as good as it got, there was a paint shop at the Cowley Rd garage, and the craft of brush painting coachwork was still in use when I was there.
Top pic 756 was the type first used in Oxford for OMO (one man operation) with the Oxford to Horspath and Cuddesdon route being the test bed, “Dolly” Dollamore was the driver. There was an undercurrent of resistance to OMOs, but was smoothed out and over without labour withdrawal, we had a good (shrewd) TGWU man in Arthur Gillians, There is a road named after him, Gillians Way between where the Bus garage was and Marsh Rd.
Cheers

Glenfiddich I hope, Its one of my fave single malts, In fact Im just enjoying one or two this evening, Regards Larry.
Just finished a bottle of Jura (pressie for fathers day), a drop of Laphroaig last evening.
Welcome to Alchofrolics Anonymous, my social status nowadays does not afford the luxury of malts 
, in the past the choice malt was Aberlour, not peaty smokey or any other distinction, just smooth with a hint of sweetness and very palatable, nowadays it’s Tesco Special Reserve, as good a blend as is going (by Whyte and MacKay). Tucked away is a bottle of the MacAllan (pressie) which being a non connoisseur will stay there. Confession time 
… cannot stand any kinda whisky neat, got to have it diluted. absolute sacrilege, you say, do I hear mention of blindfold at dawn 
.

Hi ROF
Could be Thornycroft come to think of it as GWR were big users of the make, I was leaning towards Peerless.
Cheers

The GWR Artic doesn’t seem to be a British make (Left ■■■■■■) and I believe it may be a Federal truck from the USA, the pic below is of a logging outfit of 1918, note the rad design or shape of the grille and the rad cap, which appears to be a sort of ball shape, is the same on both ‘trucks’. I was actually at the NRM just the other day and didn’t see this vehicle (it might not be on display there now) if so I could have said for certain as I looked closely at the other Rail vehicles on display. Federal did sell many vehicles around the world at the time of the pic, if they did sell to GWR then the rail company was very forward thinking, artics were around from the late 1890’s but in Britain this would have been very rare and GWR must have realised the advantages of the system. Cheers Franky.

Oh dear, you poor man. The only thing you should put in whisky is more whisky BUT, if you must, just a drop of COOL water.
