Hiya… how about remembering Grasshopper. what a lad !!! I was with him on the M6 one day and he was heading for middlewich.
he,ed just had a EPS merc that day he hated the blasted thing, He was wanting his 12 speed Foden(Mellors) back from
years before, he said it was less trouble. he did get the hang of it after a while… Hello wib.

We have a Charlie Monkey at Agribulk, lives in Derby. I’m sure He has mentioned working at Yates.

Hiya … Stan…thats why i mentioned him. he was away with a group of lads and i belive he was,nt a great swimmer
then bad news. he had drowned…I,d know him since about 1966 he used to cruse Leek in a blue mini with a huge spotlight
on the roof he always had Pete Asprey with him. Pete worked in the yard at Richard Lees.

Sounds like the one and only, he was at Andrew Sherwood the last time I saw him out and about in Derby.
He seemed quite happy at Andy Sherwoods, does Agribulk pay top dollar thern ?

He has been around a bit, I see him now and again, we share the same taste in music
I remember seeing Yates’s wagons loading out of Lovells Wharf, I don’t suppose anyone has any pix of the Daf 95 or the F90 M.A.N? Especially F440 FNU driven by a bloke called Don…
