Hi All

Hope you don’t mind me adding to your Ralph Davies memories.

I worked next door in AWF then BPL initially in office then eventually driving the trucks. used your workshops quite often to get our old Volvos serviced and/or repaired. Good to see a bunch of guys that can have great memories of old trucks and people. Was good to see a well kept fleet of trucks and trailers on the road. You might know a recent addition to the ranks there…Sean Chambers…well I believe he works there occasionally…I know hes working for the company I work for in China at present.

Am trying to remember the guys name on servicing…me brains gone dead…any reminders welcome please…cheers

You are probably thinking of Graham, David and Stuart, plus recently Tony.

Hi

Yes, remember now…is it Graham that does the banger racing or such…not quite sure what it was when I saw it.

Has anyone got any pics of the Volvo F10/F12 low-cab they still got. I seen it yesterday on the M1

Yes Graham does the racing.

Re the F12 let me have your email and I will let you have a photo.

Regards

Chris, Nick and Jen had robbie about two years ago bab. Nick is now thinking of coming back to denmark to work because of the sudden downturn in the economy…
Best regards “chap” Bill

Hi Bill,
The way Nick was talking I thought that they just had her. I suppose it was just him being a proud dad. Thats a shame about his work because he sounded quite content having a normal job. Chris.

Bill.
That should read had him :blush: .

Bill things are not much better in denmark,got a few m8s there, they tell me things are just as bad there,all over at the mo,Teneriife is the same at the mo people have got no money to spend.we are not doing to bad as we are the number 1 english bakers ere (not being big headed).We have just got better each year and holding our own this year, Anyway hows mike ok i hope.if yu got any photos from when we were on the road send us some pls 1st wife put all mine in the bin. :laughing: sent yu a pm

Thanks Ryan for the Pics.

Now then 10 bellies my old fella was talking about you the other week ask what you were upto nowadays

Hi Chris, I know what you mean with pig he definatley is a proud dad, either that or it’s just the relief of robbie looking nowt like him!!! Lol.

Bakerman, lol, its bad everywhere in transport with the economy as it is and the chuffin commies taking over everything cos they’re cheap so what you have to do is specialise (or as you did, get out of it). You wont get a lot of commies delivering wind turbines cos you need a brain when your 45 meter long or grossin 75 ton mate.

I’ll try to dig out some photo’s jon but i’m afraid most of the “interesting” ones went the same way as yours i’m afraid!!!

thanks bill
i have not gont any,she put them all in the bin,if any one as some picters when i woz woz ralphs pls e-mail me some pls :slight_smile:
