Dunno about being a teenager - the show aired from 1988 to 1995!
Oh - and she’s twelve years younger than me!

Hi lespullen, Take a look at this link from Orkney Image Library and the informative comments made, also follow through on the site to the next two photographs and comments re the great days of Orkney egg production until the wind blew it all away circa 1953 the Great Storm.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Thanks to lurpak for the pics and in anticipation of Guesty44’s showing up.
A couple of Fords, a French connection with the Transcontinental.

I took this pic in 2006 - for the termite mounds as much as anything. It is on the Central Arnhem Road, Northern Territory, Australia. I had been out to an Alcan alumina mine on the Gove peninsula, and was running back home empty.
The Iveco had an Australian built chassis, Hendrickson rear axles & suspension, 18spd Road Ranger box and 13l Iveco Cursor motor. It was a smooth truck to drive, but didn’t really have any ‘character’ as such - though I enjoyed driving it more than the Mack Superliner that replaced it.
Mack Superliner that replaced the Iveco. Picture taken at Port Augusta, South Australia, on the way up north somewhere.
same truck, same trip, through a tight and twisty creek crossing, Central Arnhem Road, Northern Territory again.
hi oilreader, been going through old photos and negatives that were sent to me awhile back most are rom the Manchester area as that’s where he used to live, remember Wilkinson transport well as we used to back load of them back in the 60ty/70ty bumper
Last night I watched “Who do you think you are” on BBC2, the subject was
actor, Ricky Tomlinson, (Catchphrase, My Arse). His Great,Great Grandfather
and his Great Grand father were “Horse & Cart Drivers”,known as “Carters”
in Liverpool in the 19th & 20th century. The programme included some
interesting Liverpool history. Apparently, most of the carters were Protestant
and most of the dockers were Catholic. A programme worth watching.
It will be screened again at 2.25 A.M. next Wednesday morning on BBC2.
Either stay up late on Tuesday night to watch it,or record it if you have
the right tackle. It may be on the I player,whatever that is.
Kind Regards, Merry Christmas, Ray Smyth.
Hi oily, this tramcar transporter is a fair bit of ingenious kit, I like to watch them loading a 4 car set.
Happy Christmas , Leyland 600.
Thanks Leyland600
