also big boots,the right bigger than than the left to compensate any unfortunate left footers,also big flat cap with greasey peak so to do away with the goggles and reflect the bull-■■■■ from the bosses.

Wow the John Bull outfit!, I used one of them to make receipt’s doing Hungary, many of the filling stations didn’t like giving you receipt’s back in the 1970’s 1980’s so to be sure we were paid I made my own out with my good old John Bull outfit and providing you had a receipt of some kind “because we paid in cash” we needed proof we had filled up to be paid on return to the office every trip so the good old John Bull came in handy. :- J Graham

A right couple of fine examples from the other end of the scale Dave but as you know it was impossible get some drivers up to an acceptable standard which is the same for a lot of jobs,there were many who could make the grade but a lot who neither wanted to nor cared.We had one or two at Bewick Transport who got bollocked up hill and down dale at times but we avoided a lot of problems because the main of our loads were sheeted via our shunters we had located at the various mills we ran out of.Many of our re-loads were wood pulp back to the mills and there was invariably two or three motors loading at the same time so the odd “miscreant” was kept in line by the good lads ! Cheers Dennis.
Weight of Rolled-Up Sheet. More years ago than I care to remember I was taught by my father (a career BRS man except for war service) that when rolling up a sheet “The tighter it is, the lighter it is”. Obviously whether rolled tightly or loosely the weight was the same but there is no doubt that a tightly rolled sheet felt lighter and was much easier to handle. I followed his advice until my retirement a few years ago. Did anybody else find a tightly rolled sheet easier to handle??
^^^ I never really noticed the weight, just did what I had to

First thing I was taught when I started on the Octopus and trailer,we had about 8 sheets,mains and flys and some older ones for using on steel,so the Guv’nor,Eric, always had the sheets rolled up as tight as possible and ■■■■■■■ then they were all covered with a small tail sheet.And your right a tightly rolled up sheet is easy to handle than the armfuls of some you saw on other motors !
