I think it was Chris who I was thinking of in the Kings Arms. Did he do Dallas? I know Debbie did! 
I also worked with Chris for a few years when we drove for Mick Lambert (Lambert international) at Dunchurch,it was always a laugh a minute running with Chris and yot never went hungry when he was cooking
Can anyone remember Ploughmans from York cattle and Fridge lorries.
they had a couple of Dafs 2800, 3300 and 3600 a few scania’s and Leyland roadtrain.
I last heard they sold out to a Dutch company?
I remember Flowers of York.
I remember Rowntrees of York 
I’m owd enough to remember NMU (1953) Transport from York,grey livery. 
I dont remember Ploughmans Transport but I do remember ploughmans lunches. Nice with raw onion.
I had a pint in the Duke of York once 
Seem to recall Ploughmans doing some subbing for UFO at Dewsbury. Plain white trucks with name and logo in orange and black IIRC.
think you mean Plowman Brothers - don’t know much about them except we bought one of their old Trailor tilts in the late 80s, not much use as information goes I dare say?
