Always handy still being verical chap ! I dont blame you growing your own vegtables chap. On my walks recently i have
noticed how quickly the crops have been growing but there are no weeds in the field,makes you wonder what we are eating.

Buzzer will probably know, been like it a good few years though I’d guess it was done about 2015
The Foden Twin Load was yet another experiment by the company (they were never afraid of trying different things!) but regulations regarding maximum weights/lengths of artics changed just after they were developed so really they were ‘out of date’ before they got going! Harveys of Bristol ran a few, two tank outfits and either a boxvan or curtainsider, and they were regulars running through Reading on their way to London. The tank outfits also went overseas, presumably collecting sherry? The Foden factory had one as well.
