Shirley Bassett and Bertie Bassett were related.Shirley used to run empty from Tittendsor to Sheffield for Bertie’s jelly babies.They used to load the little boy jelly babies seperate from the little girl jelly babies because they found out they were sha***** each other and the wagon used to sway all over the road.
The other Bassett was a dog who used to put it’s own cartoon in a paper.
Our lass said it was scampi for tea and I said “Good,I like all the Walt Disney films”.

When parking on a dodgy near Flouch. Used to park at the ‘Dog’. More than once got hounded by the ministry man.
Another driver told me the man from the ministry was a real Bassett

Well Ray and Malc,you aren’t going to believe this but the landlord’s name was Reg,honest. The full name of the pub was the Dog and Partridge,although i never saw any partridges on the car park,maybe they were doing a gig somewhere.Anyway there were plenty of grouse,not famous grouse,just normal South Yorks grouse that missed “the” out when they called.A lot of them only flew at night,used to huge flocks of 'em in me headlights when I was going over Woodhead.They reckoned the rate was better for night flying and less chance of getting shot.

Could be a Manx Albion Richard. Any idea where that pic was taken as I notice the Renault has a UK “TR” Southampton reg? Mezeron are still going strong over here,shipping out of Ramsey and Douglas.
