European reg lorries so won’t be British drivers, although up here in the North East it’s snowing and about minus 2 and it may be necessary to put a T shirt on !! Often said Scott of the Antartic would have easily made it if he had a load of Geordie lasses on his crew 
We do that here because the big ball of fire in the sky here merely turns us brown as opposed to giving us melanomas
@maoster , unfortunately that’s not correct. I’ve had skin cancers cut from multiple areas on my right side. It’s the UV that gets you, even on overcast days.
Multiple times 
…really?
Melanoma, Squamous Cell, or both?
@robroy dunno, or want to. Same as my meds, no idea what they’re for. My doc’s the expert, I just do as I’m told (mostly).
We’ve had weather warnings all last week , one for thursday was snow will start falling 4pm until early the next morning …. nothing today snow will start at 2am and stop at 4pm , to be fair there was a covering at 8am this morning now nothing because it’s raining.The sun made a guest appearance yesterday but it was damned nippy. I think the shirts come off in celebration of the suns arrival we dont see it too often
Is that an old style demister in that Foden windscreen?
Forgot all about those, my old Granda had one in his Ford Prefect…I also remember at about 4 or 5 yrs old him letting me change gear for him in that car as he de.clutched he told me when to.a 3 speed box I think it was.
He also let me steer it sat on his knee .…my old Granda and best mate.
I’m rambling now…I’ll get off.
Yes “ramone” Shap Granite are on the A6 just south of Shap village and the JM reg is the old Westmorland reg with EC being the other one. There was an older chap (back in the 60’s) called Jack Ridley who lived in Mint Street off Shap road in Kendal he drove an LAD Dodge 6 wheeler dropside for Shap Granite . He used to park up every night down on the trading estate and he would walk back over the A6 and around into Mint street and he had to pass where I was parked with my Trader and later on with the D1000 so he would stop for a chat if I and my brother were there. He mainly delivered loads of flags and kerbs as well as big concrete pipes down into Lancashire. He was a decent bloke one of the old school of drivers and from memory retired in about 1970 or thereabouts. Shap Granite was owned for many years by Thos. Ward from Sheffield and in the early 80’s I got to know Shap Granite Sales Manager who I used to have a pint with in a local WMC and he got us to run loads of drainage pipes from the works at Shap down the the Fens in East Anglia which we did for a couple of years or so .I would think that shot of the Foden is late 40’s early 50’s but just a guess. I’ll see if I have any shots of the loads we did back then.
That looks like a full load of handball or hard work , why did it need sheeting …… just curious?. Looks like an ex ICI Mandator at the side of your Seddon but looking at the age probably not
That ‘‘Carruthers of Carrutherstown’’ wrecker, you used to see them regularly along the A75…are they still operating?
Pommie git here. I’ve had quite a few skin lesions on my face removed (sun-spots sound innocent, but they’re not) and though I don’t like looking at myself in the mirror I know I’ll have to get some treatment soon. Like tinnitus (which I have), you don’t take notice until you notice.
Only after going painfully scarlet and peeling like an onion. Once upon a long time ago, I fell asleep on a beach in Queensland in October. Didn’t do that again.
